🌿 What Is Hidden Depression? 🌿
Not all depression looks the same. Many people with hidden or high-functioning depression appear productive, social, and “put together” on the outside — but inside, they may feel numb, exhausted, or disconnected from joy. This is sometimes called anhedonia — the inability to feel pleasure.
💡 Signs may include:
• Pushing through life with a smile while feeling empty inside
• Staying overly busy to distract from emotional pain
• Feeling tired all the time, even after resting
• Irritability or withdrawing emotionally
• Losing interest in things that once brought joy
👉 Dr. Judith Joseph explains this so well in her recent interview (video linked).
