Without having read every post in this thread, I believe money can make life easier. Waaayyyy easier, in some cases. But it doesn't mean you'll be happy. Money won't cure me, so I doubt I can be truly happy with OCD and panic disorder.

Financial struggles certainly cause depression for most people suffering from them, and money woes is a strain in many relationships.

Money wouldn't necessarily make me happy, but it would make me happier.
