High-Functioning Depression

This video is your sign to keep going if you have high-functioning depression. This is when a person experiences depression but is still able to maintain their extracurricular activities and social commitments.

A person with high-functioning depression may no longer have goals, enjoy their life, hobbies, friendships, or feel motivated to do anything, explained Perpetua Neo, DClinPsy, MPhil, executive coach and psychologist, in a previous interview. Dr. Sarfo says you may also experience sleep or appetite issues, or feeling hopeless, and encourages you to reach out for help.
