In this episode of Save Yourself, Amy sits down with psychiatrist and mental health expert Dr. Judith Joseph to uncover the hidden truths about high functioning depression. Dr. Judith reveals that many people are unknowingly living with symptoms of high functioning depression, often masking their struggles with anhedonia – that feeling of "meh" or going through life on autopilot. Together, they dive deep into what high functioning depression really is, how it differs from clinical depression, and why many people fail to recognize its impact on their lives.
