High Functioning Depression
I heard of this on tiktok, so I’m wondering if it is possible to have a type of high functioning depression? I think I’m depressed, although you shouldn’t self diagnose. But I also am able to function alright during the day and get stuff done. Could anxiety be a part of it as well?
Hii, anxiety could be but for a proper diagnosis i would come in touch with you psychiatrist/pediatrician. I also show severe signs of depression and have for 4 years, but i also inherited anxiety (diagnosed but undiagnosed with depression). You never really know until you’re properly diagnosed. I think what i’m getting here is you’re fine for the most part during the day (w/ motivation) but during the night you’re not? if that’s the case, i’m the exact same way and sometimes it will differ. my anxiety tends to occur more when i’m alone without distraction like night time. overall though if you’re really curious about diagnosis, get in touch w your doctor or next check up when you have to answer all those questions answer honestly and you’re pediatrician will typically know what’s going on and refer you to a psychiatrist
