 Why is sadness essential for everyday life?
Sadness can improve judgement,
and increase motivation. It can
also improve interactions, for
example people in a sad mood
are more persuasive, produce
more effective and concrete
arguments to support their
position, and are better able to
convince others better than
people in a positive mood.
 Sadness and its importance in the movie Inside Out

Early in the film joy admits that she doesn't

understand what sadness is for and why it is in
Riley's head. When Rileys long forgotten
imaginary friend bing bong feels dejected after
the loss of his wagon it is sadnesses empathy
understanding that helps him recover not joys
attempt to put a positive spin on his loss. Another
example is when joy looks back on one of Riley's
core memories when she missed a shot in a
important hockey game and realized the sadness
she felt afterwards. Sadness brought more love
of hockey to her, and also when she ran away
sadness made her go back.

depression according to the american
academy of pediatrics, however between the
ages of 10 and 14 the average age range of
puberty, depression rates increase to 5% to 8%

however testosterone in a boy doesn't raise
the chance of depression.
