By the way, there are some interesting articles from the Hudson Institute on the treatment of unhappiness and some thoughts on the use of chemical medicines to do so. One article debates the difference between unhappiness and clinical depression.
My own extra thought - contrary to what the words suggest, happiness is not the direct opposite of UNhappiness. You can be not unhappy without actively feeling happy. Or at least, it depends on your definition of 'happy'. (By the by, out of curiosity I googled 'definition of happiness', and a wide range of sites came back. Some are worth browsing through.) You can also not feel either.
To be able to comprehend happiness, you probably have to have endured or observed UNhappiness.
