7 Signs You May Have High Functioning Depression

In today’s episode, you’re going to learn about something important and rarely discussed that specifically impacts busy people and high achievers.

Just ask yourself:

- Do you just have coffee for breakfast, because a real meal would slow you down?

- Do you eat lunch while you work, instead of taking a break?

- Do you mindlessly scroll before going to bed because your mind is too busy?

- Do you take on extra work because you think, “I’m the only one who can do this, right?”

- Are you always there for others but don’t take care of yourself?

These are some of the signs of high-functioning depression you should not ignore.

Joining Mel today is the world’s leading expert and researcher on this topic, Dr. Judith Joseph, MD.
