Do you think people should feel proud of being happy if they're using antidepressants?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) August 1st, 2011

Happiness is something to take pride in, because achieving it usually means that a person has done a lot of work on her character, to become a person she likes being, and that’s a noteworthy accomplishment.

Taking an antidepressant, in this way, sort of seems like an unfair shortcut to that end. Should people still take pride in their happiness in these cases?
