We don't take happiness seriously enough
Much of human endeavor and interaction is built on three basic issues: increasing antioxidants, decreasing neurotoxins and free radicals, and getting business done to reduce stresses which would reduce antioxidants.
What makes humans so varied is that what increases one person's antioxidants will increase someone else's neurotoxins are free radical copper and iron. That's one man's meat is another man's poison.
While some reactions are nearly universal, bad associations from childhood can make almost anything reduce antioxidants, and certain health conditions can make adrenaline feel better than relaxation, because it optimizes the blood, thereby making both nutritional deficiencies and excesses seemingly disappear.
But most activities could be positive or negative for any particular person for a medically valid reason, random chance, or a specific incident from childhood. One person's comfort food could be another person's allergen, and something to which a third person is indifferent.
Emotional abundance is based on low stresses, a smaller number of emotional adhesions from one's history to negative events, a larger number of adhesions to positive offense, and a higher level of antioxidants, as well as general health and nutrition which reduce the amount of neurotoxins and free radicals.
Someone with health issues, whether genetic, nutritional deficiencies from medications, or acquired, or with emotional health issues due to emotional adhesions to negative events in their history, who is using antioxidants to thrive will have a harder time dealing with negative events in their present which reduce antioxidants more than people who have better physical and emotional health.
Both therapy and psychiatry seem to treat emotional issues as if they are separate from the body, despite psychiatric medications being built to affect the brain.
It would seem logical to base psychiatric medication decisions and the focus in various types of therapy by looking at a patient's emotional states as being based on the condition of their brain[] and their neurochemistry - neurotransmitter transitions of the catecholamine family, the dance between melatonin and serotonin, and the menage a trois of glutamate, glutathione, and GABA.
For Pediatric Therapy, the fairly recent finding the glutathione is an excitatory neurotransmitter in children despite being an inhibitory neurotransmitter in adults explains why children look like they have ADHD even when they don't. This difference makes children a present as slightly manic, genetically likely a survival mechanism to keep them functioning and learning as their body develops. Studies have shown that teenagers actually do require 9 hours of sleep, and are not malingering when they wish to stay in bed longer, an irritation to some parents which could be lessened If the parents were aware of it being a health need.

There is a saying, if you do something you love, you'll never work a day in your life. This is a combination of increasing antioxidants, and getting business done, in the form of earning a living, to reduce stress has which would decrease antioxidant levels. You could call the Best of Both Worlds.
