The top sign of high-functioning depression most people missTrujillo says the top high-functioning depression sign to look out for is that you don’t experience any sustained sense of joy or pleasure, despite good things happening. “Someone with high-functioning depression might feel disconnected, as if they are going through the motions without genuine engagement or joy,” she said.
