This Is What Depression Looks Like When No One Is Watching
Behind the Curtain: A Life That Looks Fine on the Outside We often imagine depression as someone crying, isolating themselves, or talking openly about sadness. But more often than not, it hides. It puts on a face. It says, “I’m okay,” with a smile that doesn’t reach the eyes.
