What the article says is surprising for me, I had never hear about this and it is quite difficult to understand for me. I think that the article is not very specific in describing the symptoms of the TTS. Therefore I can’t see in what way the human respond to happy and sad events can produce similar effects.
2. How might happiness be unhealthy?
I’m not sure. For what the text say, I guess that our heart response is the same when we are happy and when we are sad. Maybe both situations accelerate it leading to and unhealthy state.

Happiness is the feeling that you have when you are fulfilled about your life and you enjoy every single part of it.
