"Top Overlooked Sign of High-Functioning Depression"

High-functioning depression, though not an official diagnosis, is common and often hidden behind success and productivity. Key signs include a lack of sustained joy or pleasure, feeling emotionally flat, and forcing oneself to be social. Experts recommend being open with loved ones, seeking professional help, and considering therapy or medication. If untreated, it can lead to severe consequences like substance misuse and suicidal ideation. For support, contact mental health resources such as the 988 Lifeline.
