(XX年浙江溫州檢測)sadness is unpleasant，and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else，there is little tolerance for falling in despair. especially now we’ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings—whether it’s after losing a job，the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one. so it’s no surprise that more and more people are taking them.
but is this really such a good idea? a growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn’t. they fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose (行為輕率). sadness，they argue，serves a useful purpose—and if we lose it，we lose out. yet many psychiatrists (精神病醫生) insist not. sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression(抑郁癥)，they warn. even when people are sad for good reason，they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.
