Can Unhappiness Affect Your Health?

Sometimes if you're unhappy, you're more likely to eat a little more poorly and exercise less or not as hard as if you were happy or content. I've also heard things about how happiness helps with recovering from an illness, too.

Yes it does affect our health when we are not happy, it can affect your thinking when you are not in a happy relationship and especially a marriage as a doctor told my best friend that she had best get out of her marriage before it did affect her mind and make her depressed and so she left him and has been happier ever since.

In my opinion unhappiness usually always ends up in depression. Depression always ends up affecting your health. That's why you need to form some type of support system, friends and family to discuss things that are bothering you and move on with life. Life is full of opportunity and failures it's learning how to manage both.

I suppose it is the degree of importance you assign the particular element that causes you to be unhappy. If it is not in the forefront and can be managed it is not a question of happiness but complacency (being comfortable in your comfort zone but cautious). It should not cause adverse effects if not dwelled upon with a sense of fear or apprehension even though it is new or never travelled before. Life is not always about happiness; it is about making you and the poeple around you feel good about being allowed to exist !
