289. The psychology of high functioning depression

We are used to seeing depression one way: tears, extreme sadness, never leaving the house, pure misery. But for many of us, we experience depression differently. High functioning depression, a kind of depression where an individuals presents as seemingly 'fine' if not successful and thriving is on the rise. But despite outside appearances, it's just as debilitating as the depression we expect. In today's episode we discuss:

  • The bad vs. sad stigma present in society
  • What we expect depression to look like + why that harms people
  • What HF depression really looks like
  • What factors increase the likelihood
  • The link between overachievers, childhood trauma + hyperindependence
  • How to support a loved one with HF depression
  • How to cope ourselves + so much more
