“即使处于严重的抑郁状态，也总会有幸福快乐的时刻，但是患抑郁的人却不相信在他们的生命中也有快乐的时刻。”

And if you decide to take Dr Klein’s advice, you can make yourself even happier by recommending the technique to others.

如果你决定接受克莱因博士的建议，那么把这个技巧介绍给他人吧，这会让你更快乐。

Happiness occurs when the brain releases endorphins – chemicals that trigger positive feelings – and scientists have found this occurs not only when we achieve one of our own goals, but when we help someone else achieve theirs.

当大脑释放内啡肽（能引发积极情感的化学物质）时，幸福感就会产生。此外，科学家发现幸福感不仅仅在我们达到自己的预期目标时产生，在我们帮助他人实现目标时也会产生幸福感。

Dr Klein added it is important not to dwell on the times we felt sad, saying: ‘Going deep down into your negative feelings, [the idea] it has a cathartic effect, and you have to cry your tears out and shout your fears out, is really c**p’.’

克莱因博士补充道，最重要的是不要一味沉浸于那种悲伤情绪之中，“沉入你内心的负面情绪，（那种说）这样做有宣泄作用，你必须哭出来，将害怕的情绪宣泄出来，那都是胡说。”

The idea we should delve into our sadness became popular under Sigmund Freud, who saw the mind as a pressure cooker that needed to let out steam. But Dr Klein argued this was a ‘misguided analogy’.
