Is mental health a shared experience?

If you're around happy people eventually you'll be happier?

If you're around sad depressed people you'll feel low and depressed?

No it's not necessarily contagious but a short term phenomenon that drains off like alcohol.

Mind has the power to change the mood and you can make depressed people happy by one's disposition because others react to the dominant.

So the dominant force defines the situation. For instance a boss can call for a meeting and make everyone happy or spoil everyone's mood.
