I understand completely when you say happiness from pills would just be fake. However, I think it could be better to see it this way: Depression is not part of you, it's an illness you currently are struggling with. Therefore, when you get pills to effectively take away the depression, that is more close to "becoming yourself" again than it otherwise would be (without pills). So, view happiness as a part of who you are, and depression as something that is not part of you but just something that you are dealing with right now :) (gosh, rambley, sorry! I hope this makes some sort of sense) xx
