There are degrees of agriculturalism. How much of their diet is from foraging and hunting? Also there is still a big difference between cultures who cultivate fruits and cultures who cultivate grains and legumes.
If they adopt grains/legumes their population will increase and their lifespans will decline. But as long as they stick to fruit and animal meat, and avoid modern diseases, they will be healthier than our society.
It's NOT a foregone conclusion that they experience suffering/misery.
It's certainly possible but in order to claim this you need to provide evidence of their suffering/misery.
Most likely, it's quite the opposite. If they are anything like the typical tribal hunter-gatherers, depression is probably unheard of in their culture.
