I once heard someone say that depression is a spiritual problem, as in the cause lies with your relationship (or lack there of) with a higher power.
I just had a thought - what if there is a biological or evolutionary quirk that believing in a higher power results in more happiness? It would certainly explain why some people who seem to have a supernatural outlook are so happy dispite what seems like terrible suffering.
E.g. Carlo Acutis [1] was known for his cheerfulness despite suffering and dying from leukaemia.
