     A number of Americans are prescribe daily with anti-depressed drugs leading them to believe it can make them achieve happiness, when The drug industry makes a huge profit off the anti-depressants that the society purchase, Whether are not these pills are harmful to some and even affect their happiness we are pursue to believe that these anti-depressant pills is the best way to achieve happiness. Therefore people with minor depression symptoms are talk into trying out an anti-depression believing it will make their life be full with happiness. Everyday Happiness should be distinguished from happiness induced by pharmaceuticals drugs.

   Many of society’s advertisements are base around pharmaceuticals drugs TV ads, bill boards, magazines. Not knowing the side effects or what the drugs is deeply needed for, many people rush to taking the drugs. That is why so much Americans rush into taking anti-depressant. “Just seeing the happiness these pills can portray make me want to leap to the greener side of the grass” Dr. Jackson Clyde states So many people believe that with taking the pill comes happiness and this is not true it doesn’t work for everyone and most cases doesn’t need to be used. Many people who are taking anti-depressants are not severely depressed, there’s a huge difference in being depressed and severely depressed. A person who usually is severely may experience thoughts and actions that are harmful to themselves and others such as suicide thoughts, sleeping disorders, eating disorders, as a person who is just slightly depressed may be mad for the moment. The majority of people who are depressed whether it severely are slightly believe anti-depressant is the answer. “Depression is not a brain disease, and chemicals don't cure it.” Irving Kirsch, Ph.D. states

   The most important step that many tend to skip past is evaluating the depressed mood, determining its severity and if it makes sense in this person's life. Many people deal with complaints of anxiety rather than depression. “Do we even know what makes us happy? And it difficult to figure out what makes us happy in the moment, how can we predict what will make us happy in the future” (Daniel Gilbert qtd in Jon Gertner 9) mildly depresses patients often jump to anti depressants pills to look for everyday happiness when it clearly a dose of anxiety in everyday life. Misjudge by what is presented with anti-depressed pills patients relay heavily on happy future. When mildly depressed patients are able to move on without it.

   There are many reason why mildly depressed people are lead to take anti-depressed, It can be because of the commercial ads, bill boards or magazine but one thing is for sure this industry is one of the highest paying industry in the world. Just like any other job it all about the money and happiness an person can attain from their job and its being provide on both sides. In “How happy we will be written by Greg Critser” He talks about a young man who been seeing his psychiatrist for years but recently sent him to wealthy man who prescribes him anti-depressed drugs. This shows that every medication that’s being distributed is also a benefit for the drug industry. So what happen to the one that’s being misdiagnosed with depressed just to benefit the industry what about the side effects. . In Ben Harder’s article, psychologist Kirsh admits that one of the side effects of antidepressants is increased risk of suicide. This can lead mildly depressed person in a deep situation that wasn’t meant for them.

   Depression can mean a lot of things that people often misjudge for a disorder it affects majority of people in America and is often lead to other things that industries can benefit off of.
