I would argue only up to a point. Research shows that income can reduce overall levels of stress / depression but only up to about $70,000 of income a year.
After that income, most people's basic needs are met and buying further toys / goodies / larger house / faster car doesn't create any lasting sense of happiness. Nor does it do anything to ameliorate genetic issues.Also, when wealth is used as a cruch, it may impede recovery in some ways. For example, I would argue that friendships / connections among the rich are perhaps more superficial.
