yes it can . It might not be able to get you everything on this world , but it's very possible to be happy with lots of money (assuming you didn't work 18 hours a day for that money)

But yeah in all seriousness. It can't. I'm not poor but I have plenty of money to spare and.. heh. Not really happier for it than people with less money. Not to say I'm sad, but in the end, the money's just there to help me lead a more comfortable life.

Not directly.

But it does buy you freedom, which you can choose to invest in gaining happiness.

It certainly buys more happiness than poverty can and does.

Robin Williams had a neurological disorder and was hardly himself in the latter part of his life.

Some people say madness is happiness.

I got into it because I read Robin Hobb's other series (the Royal Assassin and the Dragons one) and was checking if she had released the latest trilogy in that universe yet (she did) but decided to read something else first, since I want to re-read the whole like.. 12 books of those other ones before getting into the new ones.

Wrong. Unless you're on Social Security you'd kill yourself trying to pay for that shit. Believe me, I would know.

Money can't buy contentedness, which is one of the keys to being happy. Money might keep you entertained for a relatively short time, but it will not keep you happy. Why do you think so many wealthy people exhibit self destructive behavior? They clearly aren't happy.

Money can't buy therapy? It's better to be broke with mental issues than well off with mental issues?

Your point was that having money gave you access to more treatment options than someone in poverty, but in my experience the opposite is true, because Social Security benefits can more than make up for the difference in money earned at a job.
