There is another important information towards the end of the article: different cultures have different connotations of "happiness" -- high arousal positive state (enthusiasm or excitement) vs. low arousal positive state (calm and serenity). The latter can be held for a long time, the former can not.
Thus by defining hapiness as a state of perpetual excitement, you are already sowing seeds of your future disappointment with your life.
(By the way: depression can also have biological reasons, indepenent on the topic of the article.)
Not only different culture. Even different age groups of the same culture have different notions.
