Since most high functioning depressives can maintain a job, a house, and their responsibilities,

Along with any unhealthy coping habits you have, you may also find yourself constantly gaming or binge-watching tv series, among other things.

Although these activities seem normal, the problem is you're actually using them to escape reality.

High functioning depression is difficult to notice because those who suffer from it are still able to continue with their responsibilities.

由于他们表现的并不像是一名典型的抑郁患者,他们相信自己状态还行,但事实上,感觉麻木、悲伤且经常责怪自己的生活并不正常。
