They will say, jsut think about the poor people in third world countries, the thing is though, that is irrelevent, becuase that would be saying that money buys happiness
I lived in a third world country for a year after college, and ironically I was never happier in my life than while i WAS there
the people seemed happier and more relaxed on a whole too,,ironically
then i came back home and after a few months I went back into a bad depression
but another thing is there is a misconception thst people in these countries are too strong willed to be depressed, while I was there I met these two old guys,,one an alcoholic who sufferd from depression and where cared for by all the relatives and never looked down on, they took his coindition seriously and were very compassionate towards him, they didn't look at it as a character flaw
just some food for thought about misconceptions on mental ilness
