In this video, I talk about 5 signs that you, or someone you know, may have high functioning depression.

Dysthymia, also known as high functioning depression, can present many of the same symptoms that clinical depression. The symptoms are typically less severe and should last at least two years.

These signs are

1. Even when you are with friends, you can feel sad or numb.

2. You can’t engage in hobbies or other activities. Only do what you are obligated to.

3. Constant self-criticism

4. You may find yourself falling asleep a lot or not at all.

5. High functioning depression is often mistaken for normal burnout, or burnout as HFD.

Talk to a therapist if you or someone you know has experienced any of these symptoms for the past few years.

How to Help Someone With Depression

If you suspect that your loved one is suffering from depression, you can do your part by seeking help for yourself. Having high levels of stress and addiction may be contributing factors to the depression, but they may not be aware of the effect it’s having on their loved ones. Seeking help for these issues will be beneficial for both of you. You can also consider joining support groups and therapy sessions. These resources may help you find the right way to help someone suffering from depression.

What Are The Signs Of Depression

Many people experience sadness or loneliness at some point in their lives, but when those feelings become severe and persistent, it becomes a problem. Depression is a serious mental health condition that interferes with the person’s ability to function normally. People suffering from depression should see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Although depressive symptoms are not immediately noticeable, they can last for months or years. Untreated depression can result in pain and even suicide, which is the second leading cause of death.

There are several factors that can increase the risk for depression, including genetics and family history. Stressful events, such as abuse, conflict, and grief, are known to trigger depression. Genetics play a huge role in depression, as well, with studies showing a strong connection between genetics and the onset of depression. In addition to genetics, studies have revealed a direct connection between depression and certain parts of the brain. The brain has receptors for chemicals called serotonin, which are essential for normal brain function and nerve fiber transmission.

What Are The Symptoms Of Depression

Most people have felt sad, lonely or depressed at some point in their lives, but some of these feelings can last for months or even years. When those feelings become overwhelming and are preventing you from living a normal, active life, then you are suffering from depression. The best way to get help for depression is to visit your regular doctor for a diagnosis and a treatment plan. However, if you do not get help immediately, untreated depression can go undiagnosed for months or even years and result in a lot of pain and suffering. In addition, one in ten people will take their own lives.

If you feel depressed, try to engage with your environment. Take up a hobby or join a sports team. This will help you feel better when you are active again. If you can’t get out much, try joining a gym. Many cities offer free ‘green gyms’ for people to exercise. Doing housework in a way that makes you feel good also can help. Talk to your doctor about any changes you are making in your lifestyle. If you feel depressed, you may also be at risk of weight gain or exercise.

How To Support Somone With Depression

If you are caring for someone with depression, you are in for a long haul. You will be drained and stressed from helping your loved one through this difficult time. To help them get through this difficult time, it is important to remember to look after yourself. Ensure that you get regular rest and exercise, and find time for yourself. Here are some ways to help yourself deal with the challenges of caring for someone with depression.

Learn as much as you can about depression. Find reputable resources to learn about depression symptoms and treatment. Take time to understand the different aspects of depression, and don’t be critical. Instead, state the facts in a neutral way and pause to give your loved one time to respond. Depression affects different people, and making assumptions will only invalidate their symptoms and discourage them from seeking help. If you want to be a supportive friend and support person, learn about the different types of depression.

How to talk to someone about depression

How to talk to someone with depression is a delicate subject that requires care and empathy. The person you’re talking to may not be able to express their feelings or be sure how to approach them without making matters worse. In such a situation, you can turn to your close friends and family members for advice. While these people may not have the necessary experience or knowledge to understand the situation, they will most likely want to support you and try to learn as much as they can about how to talk to someone with depression.

One of the most important things you can do is to listen carefully. When talking to someone with depression, you must distinguish between common and real depression. The person might be suffering from a chemical imbalance that causes them to be depressed. If you’re unsure whether they’re suffering from depression, then you’ll want to seek professional help. By acknowledging the symptoms of depression, you can help them feel better. If you’re not sure how to approach someone with depression, start by understanding that the person may be in a bad mood.

Encouraging the person to get help with their depression

When someone is struggling with depression, you may feel like all you need to do is encourage them to get help. This may be easier said than done, however, because they may not recognize the signs and symptoms of depression, or they may think they are normal. You should understand that while it’s possible to encourage them, it’s also important not to push them into a decision they’ll later regret. For example, it may be helpful to tell them that it is a medical condition, and that they need to get the right treatment to overcome it.

While it’s human nature to want to fix someone else’s problem, it’s best to remember that your own health is the most important thing. Even if you’re surrounded by good friends and family members, you’re still the one suffering from depression. You may need to get treatment yourself, as well, or even find a support group or therapy that can help you. It’s important to remember that your depression can be a result of a variety of things, so you’ll need to find ways to encourage your loved one to make healthy choices and seek help.
