High Functioning - Are You Missing a Key Depression Diagnosis Because You’re High Functioning?

High Functioning by Judith Joseph is a fascinating and eye-opening non fiction focused on mental health and self-help. This book is about high functioning depression, in which the author has researched, studied, and discovered is a form of depression that is not well known, and not well detected.

Have you been moving non-stop, driven by guilt, a need to control the narrative of your life, to overachieve, and to escape feeling? Do you feel like despite all you do, it’s not enough? But have you told your providers on repeat, “I don’t have depression”?

If this sounds like you (it sounds like me…), this book is one for you! You will not get bored with this read. It will keep you engaged and give you actionable steps to determine where you are at, and what you can do.

This book has changed the narrative of my own life. I know that seems like such a big statement to make, but this book spoke to me, down to my core. I cried multiple times with revelation after revelation. And then I spoke to my provider and therapist. I now have new plans in place to address an underlying issue that I’ve been trying to figure out for so long, but without a clear path, because I didn’t think I was depressed.

I listened to the audiobook version of this book, which was so well done. I listened at 1.5x speed to ensure I absorbed every nugget of information (my typical audiobook speed is 1.75x).

Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Audio for this advanced listener copy. It has truly been a gift.

Thank you for Reading!
