High-Functioning Depression
While not formally recognized as an official diagnosis, the term "high-functioning depression" is used to describe individuals who can conceal their struggles with depression, allowing them to function normally in their daily lives. While they might actively engage in social activities, meet expectations at work, and claim to be fine, inside they are experiencing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, inadequacy, guilt, safe-hatred, and/or emptiness.
