No, and not necessarily trauma, though if you do come out the other side it tends to open your eyes. 

Some good life events are definitely life changing. 

Consider a child coming into your life (birth/adopt/foster). Finding your (next) love. Getting your dream job.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
