Prescription drugs.

Actually, I thought that was what NON-perscription drugs were for.

They work too, but the number of prescription happy pills released in the last 30 years is... significant.

So true, and honestly why the fuck not? There aren't any medals for being miserable.

My father used the happy pills until he realized they were enabling him to make short term happy decisions that lead to long term problems, like financial insolvency.

My neighbor's whole family uses the happy pills and it enables them to not worry about where the mortgage payment will be coming from, just have faith and then the job in real estate sales paid off when the market boomed. It worked out for them, but easily could have gone differently.
