I don’t think so. The only person responsible for your happiness is YOU. YOU are the only one who is in control of YOUR feelings and money isn’t going to change that. Relying on money to make you happy is an unhealthy habit and a waste of money. You can buy all the things that you want and still be unhappy.

To a point, yes.
The feeling of insecurity and fear that comes with an unsteady source of income can cause significant stress. I wouldn't want to go through what some of my friends go through, such as their employer cancelling their shift at the last minute when they need the money to pay their rent on time.
Generally if you're wealthier (to a point), you can live in security, you can afford healthcare (even in Canada where healthcare is supposed to be "free" you have to pay for dental and drugs, and private mental health is vastly superior to the public system), you can afford to take care of your health (healthy foods and time for exercise), you can afford decent housing in a nice neighbourhood etc. These are all very important in terms of quality of life.
But it only works up to a point. Past a point where you can live comfortably, there is not a lot to be gained in making more money. I think upper-middle class people can be just as happy as a billionaire, even more so depending on how that billionaire gets their money (if they're working 24/7 and people are only friends with them because of their money, I'd imagine they'd be more miserable).
In general, you want the feeling of security that comes with a good amount of steady money. After that, you start getting diminishing returns.

To a certain extent, it does. However, it's namely a superficial form of happiness, as it's derived from being able to purchase items that you normally wouldn't be able to afford. You can have all the money in the world and still experience depression and other mental illnesses.

Yes it can, it’s called buying food.

Bruh.
It depends on the circumstance. Money can obliterate most stress while you'd just have to worry about real and fake people. I already have my long time best friend so I'm good and I'm not even asking for all the money in the world. I'd be mentally right with just 10 mill.
