Ah, they seem to be opposites don’t they? Both are affected by Dopamine levels; happiness with high dopamine and depression with low levels of dopamine. So, I suppose they are opposites. The funny thing is, if we could make ourselves happy, levels of depression would be reduced.

How can we be happy? Will money and other chattels make us happy? Maybe for a short time, but happiness is how we think about certain things. It’s like altruism. Be happy, make others happy, smile in the face of adversity, do things that you enjoy and chances are, you’ll be far more happier and less depressed. Try it! Only you can make you happy, you have to give yourself permission to be happy, it is your right.
