A member asked:
What to do if i know what anti-depressants are, but is there such a thing as "happy" pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No medications will make you "happy." typically antidepressants take away negative emotion, but do not increase positive emotions. Through exercise, psychotherapy, and healthy living habits, people can feel more serene, happy, and joyful, but there are no pills for consistent happiness. Recreational drugs can be used for various "highs" but those are fleeting and eventually very destructive.
