Yes, opiates can provide unsurpassed emotional wellbeing. The number of people whoever, who can use opiates as a *long term* solution for a mood disorder are probably few. Other than dependance and dose escalation, opiates are probably safer than other antidepressants.
Hopefully the future will provide new ways to modulate the opiate system without the pitfalls of current opiates.Additional targets will hopefully include the endocannabanoid system.
