Primal emotions have been recognized by thinkers ever since Aristotle (384-322 BC) and that they can cause difficulty, even disease, when in extreme. Type "basic emotions" into Yahoo! web search; in the numerous links that come up wikipedia has a good summary of them. They are as natural as breathing and their getting out of the norm leads to personality disorders and even psychosis. (Type "personality disorders" and "psychosis" into Yahoo! web search for a number of references on them).
I have been told by psychologists that to achieve mental health that you "have to learn to control your emotions." as well as by another psychologist "that you have about as much chance of controlling an emotion as controlling heartbeat but you can control what you do about an emotion."
So it seems that out of control emotions or the out of control response to them is important to recognizing a bad mental condition.
Happiness or joy is a primal emotion which everyone considers important to good mental health. The pursuit of it is guaranteed in the basic governing documents of the USA among other things. When you are happy you don't complain much.
Good luck in the "pursuit of happiness", good health, peace and love1
