generally they will leave you a bit better off. people talk about down/up regulation (insert quark joke here) but the brain also gets settled into habits so to speak. bits of the brain you use lots grow stronger. being happy is good for you. you don't become stupider for having gone to university just because you knew more while you were there reading. and its the same the other way too: being depressed for long periods causes atrophy of damage to the brain.
