Conclusion Unhappiness is a serious problem that impacts on many circles of life. Unhappiness affects our social being, how we relate with friend relative and neighbors, and our careers. Unhappiness reduces our self-worth and prevents us from achieving our goals in life. In a unique situation, unhappiness leads to depression. Depression is not restricted to a particular gender, race or social class, but is something that affects people across the board. However, symptoms of depression differ in different people. The causes of depression range from social, economic to physical; the good news is that there are treatment and prevention for depression. Those people affected with depression, and general lack of happiness can seek the services of professional counselors. They can also choose to leave happy lives by focusing on the positive things in life and overlooking the negative ones.
