Abstract
Much psychological distress has to do with being happy. People who might be described as depressed clearly are unhappy, to say the least. However, many other life-problems are described, however circularly, from a happiness perspective. People who have relationship difficulties, for instance, might not be happy about the way their husbands/wives/children/relatives/friends behave. Such unhappiness can be expressed as anger, frustration or fear, rather than sadness. At its most fundamental, however, people interpret such experiences as distressing or disturbing. The way the world is, as opposed to the way they would like it to be, upsets their emotional equilibrium. As a result they are unhappy.
