Well, I think we are arguing semantics here. Some would say that to cry, you have to be sad, unless they are "tears of joy". Regardless, I would say that emotionally balanced is not happy. Emotionally balanced is the ability to be happy when appropriate, sad when appropriate as well as a full range of other emotions (when appropriate). On SSRIs there is no other dimention, just this shallow, artificial, zombie feeling for me I can't feel emotion, I can't cry when I am on SSRIs.

If I can't cry, I would not consider this to be well, I would say my emotions have just been blunted.
