This doesn't sound true or only insofar that it makes you unhappy if you do a comparable amount of work but don't receive a comparable compensation. So I would say that not receiving your fair share makes you unhappy but not only having less then others.

Having a chemical imbalance allows all sorts of thoughts, but they should be considered in context of someone who may already be incapable of feeling happy for other reasons.
