English term or phrase: Departures from happiness
I have been working on this project for several days. The author is not very skilled at writing. His text is too wordy and confusing. I couldn't find a good expression in Portuguese for "departures from happiness". Anyone might give me hand?

Tenho trabalho neste projeto há vários dias. O autor não é um bom linguista. O texto dele é prolixo e confuso. Não consegui achar um boa expressão em português para "departures from happiness". Alguém para me dar uma ajudinha?

"I agree that suffering is not the only evil. I go further and assert
that departures from happiness are not the only evil. There are
departures from happiness that do not amount to evil, and there
are evils other than departures from happiness (Steele 2005b)."
