I'm 100% positive that having a mental illness does not mean that you have a "miserable personal life." I have exactly the personal life I want. Sure, I'd love to have fewer panic attacks, but that doesn't affect my personal life.

Is it reasonable to say that it is ultimately up to the particular individual to determine whether he or she has a miserable or happy personal life? Just as I easily misunderstood your post, perhaps the misery that some people are experiencing is just the normal baggage that comes with being human, and overall, they have their source of happiness, fulfillment, and meaning that drives them to live and be productive in their own way.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that someone with depression isn't happy...
You're going to fall off that limb. Depression doesn't make someone permanently unhappy.
