Happiness is Mandatory

Happiness is mandatory. Unhappiness is treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution. Are you happy, citizen? - Friend computer.

Welcome to Beta Complex, the little brother of Alpha Complex. We are not in Alpha Complex, governed by the fierce, trigger happy Friend Computer murdering every troubleshooter for doing their job and being Commie Mutant Traitors, because they are all Commie Mutant Traitors. We are better!

True, we too are in a bunker, locked up underground after the bombs fell and we too have a ruling AI. That's BB or Big Bro, short for Big Brother. He sees everything, because, why shouldn't he? He is always helpful and friendly, much in contrast to his brother FC. His sole reason to be is to keep us alive for our own good and keep us happy! He didn't just make happiness mandatory, he enforces happiness. If you aren't happy, he will make you happy. After 143 years of running, there has not been a single case of execution for unhappiness, despite that being in the basic rule set!

But... HOW does Big Brother make all the people happy?

Answers should be backed with appropriate citations and based on science - magic is not a thing. Assume that Big Brother is programmed to be an expert in biochemistry, neurochemistry and psychology. Ignore location and resource factors of Beta complex and assume it is somewhere, where anything that is needed for your answer (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foods, other) can be retrieved somehow.
