Happiness is a psychiatric disorder, scientifically speaking.
Here’s the abstract of a 1992 paper that psychiatrist Richard Bentall published in the Journal of Medical Ethics:
It is proposed that happiness be classified as a psychiatric disorder….
In a review of the relevant literature it is shown that happiness is statistically abnormal, consists of a discrete cluster of symptoms, is associated with a range of cognitive abnormalities, and probably reflects the abnormal functioning of the central nervous system.
One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.

That makes me so happy!
you should probably get that checked out.
What a relief.
Pseudo-science!
This is the problem when all psychological experiences are defined by a description.
If you want to find real happiness, go to HappinessI got my happiness.
Get the real thing from ourMaker. We are incapable of working up true happiness from within.
thats great……….
