Read the research paper:

It is far more telling than a random guys blog with a political agenda. This research has documented previous self reporting dating back several decades that shows conservatives are happier than liberals. It does only tell a portion of the story. You are going to be depressed if you view the social and economic inequality in the country as a problem. If you don't view it as a problem it isn't going to bother you.
Younger generations have learned to recognize and talk about things that are bothering them while older generations will internalize. However where do we see rising suicide rates? Middle aged white men that are far more likely to internalize than discuss feelings and seek help. They are far more likely to admit to depression, seek help but it doesn't mean they aren't.
