Smiling depression or high functioning depression

That's the biggest challenge that he is experiencing in his life, that he goes into that mood of denial. He's not ready to recognize the fact that he needs medical help, he needs psychological assistance. Some of the common symptoms which are experienced by these people, people who are experiencing high functioning depression, is that they are able to get out of the bed and do their work really well. They can carry forward with their day to day life really well like any other normal person

Thank you so much, Swati, for sharing this with us. Yes. You know, I think as I listen to your swell, I could relate to it, because I have seen some people in my social circle who have this problem because they have a high functioning depression, because they are so much into their work, 24 by seven, that, you know, they really do not know what's happening

Hi, Ranjana. Thank you so much for finding my pose so very useful. And unfortunately, I had to talk about this kind of depression which is so commonly to be seen. And we start ignoring these telltale signs in people around us and people at large, those who are suffering from the smiling depression or, you know, high functioning disorder or depression, whatever you want to call it, as is something very, very glaring, you know

Thank you, Swati, for reverting on this. And this incident that you spoke about is really very sad. And, yes, a lot of such things are happening around us. And I don't know what's wrong with the lifestyle these days. It's the pressure from both work and family. And, you know, there is, the targets on both. The ends are so steep that people are just not able to cope up. So thank you so much for sharing this with us
