Happiness is me.

Or not.
How valid is the statement that if you are generally happy you have no thoughts about death and/or suicide.
If we break down the reasoning for current meds into three parts; depression, anxiety and avoiding social contact, I think I covered the latter two a bit already, but happiness...
It's not something I normally think about. I consider happiness to be within moments, events, limited time and space. Not something that's generally there.
The whole concept of being happy in a constant way is not known to me. Or maybe it is, but I don't recognize it. For as long as I can remember I have thoughts about death (my grandfather dying as most close to the family at age eleven as mark). I don't consider death as something unnatural. It's there, it's inevitable, it's well in way something you can rely on, but it's also very unpredictable. Unless, you consider killing yourself. Which in my eyes is a valid option and just part of taking matters in own hands, controlling the randomness.
Maybe I think more people should just think about their existence and the value of it. Or maybe we just aren't born as clean slates and carry within our blood the blood of our ancestors. Again, normality is all within an age and culture.
