Can hormones make you happy?

The feelings we experience are nothing more than chemical reactions taking place inside tour bodies, some hormones are responsible for making us feel good while some others are responsible for the feelings of high we get when we fall in love with someone.

But the question we have is, can I become happy If I managed to get this hormones released in my body? Yes you can but unless you deal with the root cause of your problems your happiness won’t last.
