I'm not disagreeing but if it were as easy as that to be happy, then a lot more adults would be.
Sinking into an unhappy rut is easy. Being proactive takes effort.
Every time I see these "haha everything is miserable am I right?" kind of memes I reflexively feel a desire to push against it.
I currently see a therapist and have made serious changes in my life in the last year. Gratitude and things like that are things you can develop and practice. Yes depression and mental illness is real but it's incredible the amount of change you can experience by consciously trying, if that includes therapists and medication then so be it.
