high-functioning depression
 |
Description
Book Introduction
“On the surface, it performs its daily functions without any problems,
“A state of persistent depression, emptiness, and loss of motivation within.”
A new disease created by sincerity and perfectionism,
The first diagnosis to highlight high-functioning depression
Highly recommended by Mel Robbins, author of "Let Them Theory."
A masterpiece by a psychiatrist who conducted the world's first clinical study on 'high-functioning depression'
People who are always busy, do their jobs perfectly, and appear to have no problems on the outside.
But there are people who, even when they should be happy, their hearts don't follow suit, and they don't know how to stop even when their bodies are tired, and they just keep going like a 'machine'.
These are people suffering from 'high-functioning depression'.
On the outside, he appears normal, but behind him, another self is hiding, barely maintaining balance.
This book captures the inner workings of modern people, so consumed by their own diligence and responsibility that they can barely even sense their own depression, and confronts the true nature of high-functioning depression head-on.
Judith Joseph, a psychiatrist who was the first in the world to clinically identify 'high-functioning depression,' defines the essence of this symptom as "a state in which one can outwardly perform daily functions without any problems, but internally experiences persistent feelings of depression, emptiness, and loss of motivation."
This book analyzes the roots of high-functioning depression, which causes emotional breakdown in modern people, as 'trauma,' 'anhedonia,' and 'masochism,' and explores how these gradually erode the joy of life.
Furthermore, it presents specific and practical ways to restore the broken self and take care of oneself.
In an age where anxiety and burnout are the norm, confronting the true nature of depression disguised as success is a pressing task.
If you're struggling with a sense of emptiness and helplessness despite working hard, this book will be the first step toward finding the answer to the question, "What have I been living for?"

Into the book
We live our lives without looking back on the direction of our lives, just entrusting ourselves to the autonomous driving device.
Then, one day, when you suddenly feel threatened by an existential crisis, you try to find answers to the questions, "What have I been living for?" and "For whom and what have I sacrificed?"
However, by the time you realize the crisis, you may have already wasted all your precious time.
You realize that you've been living a wrong life and that you've allowed everyone you've met to take advantage of you, but it may already be too late to bring back the joy of life.
--- From the "Introductory Note"
But there is another real reason why he pushes himself so relentlessly.
Because deep down, there is a belief that if you don't succeed, you won't be loved.
This is an internalized belief that has continued from a painful childhood when I always tried to be the perfect child to avoid the wrath of my abusive parents.
But if someone asks her if she is depressed, she will answer like this.
“I’m just so busy these days.”
--- 「Chapter 1.
From "Time to Face the Real Me"
We wish those painful moments in life would just magically disappear.
I try to force all my trauma into a suitcase, lock it up, and store it deep inside somewhere.
He climbs onto an unstable chair, hoists a heavy suitcase over his head, and struggles to place it precariously on a high shelf.
Sometimes I manage to get it onto the shelf, but sometimes I lose my balance and the suitcase falls.
What we really need to do is not hide our suitcases, but unpack and organize what's inside them.
One of the most common symptoms of trauma is internalized guilt and shame.
Because you did something wrong, you feel like you deserve to be in that situation.
As a result, you feel indifferent and apathetic towards everything, but you gradually become less and less aware of that state itself.
If you do this, you will eventually start to doubt that you are not worthy of happiness.
We must recognize that this very helplessness is yet another signal that it is time to do something to break this vicious cycle.
--- Chapter 2.
From "Trauma: The Weight of the Carried Heart"
Even things that once brought me joy, like finishing a long, painstaking report at work, no longer bring me joy at all.
The excitement of anticipation, the joy of experience, and the pride of achieving a goal all disappear.
All that remains is self-doubt.
--- 「Chapter 3.
From "Anhedonia: The Mind That Has Lost Joy"
In my travels around the world studying cultural psychiatry, I have witnessed firsthand that cultural masochism is ubiquitous.
For example, in British culture, it is considered a virtue to maintain a 'steadfast attitude' and not complain about one's work.
In Christian culture, we are taught to "turn the other cheek" when someone hurts us, and we look to figures like the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of Luke and Job in the Old Testament, a representative figure of suffering in human history and a symbol of faith and perseverance, as examples.
In the capitalist culture of the United States, the number of personal leave days, including paid maternity leave and parental leave, is significantly lower than in other countries.
As capitalism builds on the rising pressures of work, wealth becomes more concentrated and poverty becomes more entrenched, widening the gap.
--- Chapter 4.
From "Masochism: Why It Hurts Me"
Many of my patients have a hard time breaking free from their own thoughts.
Rather, the more you think about it over and over again, the more obsessed you become with it.
People with high-functioning depression, in particular, believe that thinking about how to improve their situation is the way to solve their problems, but in reality, it only makes them more miserable.
So, rather than trying to solve the problem, I encourage them to take a step back from the problem or thought and just go about their daily lives.
--- Chapter 5.
From "Acceptance: The Power to Accept Myself"
When your vision is blurred, you don't even realize that you've accomplished something great.
Even when you successfully attract customers, you belittle yourself by saying, “I was just lucky.”
Even when I receive an award, I think, 'The judges must not have looked at my work properly.'
If you lack vision, you won't even plan to celebrate these accomplishments.
Because I feel like, 'I'm just a fake trying not to get caught, so there's no need to draw attention to myself.'
Even if you plan to reward yourself, you may feel embarrassed about carrying out the plan.
'I don't deserve praise.
Because I think that admission was just a big mistake.
Then, one day, when you suddenly feel threatened by an existential crisis, you try to find answers to the questions, "What have I been living for?" and "For whom and what have I sacrificed?"

Publisher's Review
“I thought I was okay too.”
The Reality of "Hidden Depression" That Even Psychiatrists Failed to Recognize
The scariest thing about high-functioning depression is that it is difficult even for the person with the condition to recognize the symptoms.
Because I go to work every day, have meetings, smile in front of people, and go about my daily life without any problems.
The problem is that all of these "normal behaviors" may be automated routines created as we push ourselves to be more diligent and responsible, ignoring the signals from our hearts.
In the end, we just get through the day by repeating programmed movements like a machine.
The author was one of the first to fail to realize this fact.
For a long time, I didn't recognize the signs of depression because I believed I was 'okay'.
It was only when he faced his own breakdown while caring for countless patients during the pandemic that he finally faced the truth: “I’m doing well, but I’m not living well.”
This book started from that very realization.
Afterwards, he began to clinically refine the diagnosis of 'high-functioning depression' and began research based on his own and his patients' cases.
This book is the result of that research, and is the first dissected report on the mental structure of people who appear perfect on the outside but are hollow on the inside.
“A quiet collapse happening to seemingly normal people.”
The swamp of emotional numbness and self-sacrifice stemming from trauma
The author finds the root of high-functioning depression in 'trauma', that is, psychological wounds.
Trauma doesn't just refer to major, shocking events. While the DSM-5 defines exposure to death, injury, and violence as trauma, the authors emphasize that "small traumas," such as repeated criticism, excessive expectations, betrayal in relationships, and environments that demand perfection, also significantly contribute to high-functioning depression.
Even if there are no visible physical wounds, the emotional damage is enough to break a person down.
One of the marks left by trauma is internalized guilt and shame.
People endlessly censor themselves, feeding themselves the distorted belief that “this happened because I was inadequate.”
As time goes by, the ability to feel joy gradually disappears, and you begin to feel that you are not worthy of happiness.
This is the psychological loop that leads to high-functioning depression.
People who appear fine on the outside, but in reality are exhausting themselves and pushing themselves to their limits, are trapped in this vicious cycle.
At the end of trauma, there are two dangerous shadows.
These are ‘Anhedonia’ and ‘Masochism’.
Anhedonia is a state in which the ability to feel pleasure is lost, leaving only self-doubt, without the excitement of anticipation or the pride of achieving a goal.
Masochism is the habit of sacrificing oneself and conforming to the expectations of others.
On the surface it seems like dedication, but underneath it all lies the distorted belief that I have to exhaust myself to be recognized.
The author diagnoses how insidious and dangerous these symptoms can be, and includes a "self-test" in the book that allows readers to check their own condition, helping them recognize the signs of high-functioning depression on their own.
Proven through thousands of clinical data
The "5V Principle": A High-Functioning Depression Recovery Manual
Based on thousands of clinical records and counseling cases, the author developed a concrete and actionable program for recovery from high-functioning depression: the '5V Principle (Validation, Venting, Values, Vitals, Vision)'.
These five steps are not just a theory, but a practical recovery program designed based on the successful recovery cases of actual clinical patients.
The first step is validation.
We often live our lives ignoring our own feelings by saying, “It’s okay.”
However, emotions are not objects of control, but rather the starting point of recovery.
The simple recognition of accepting your emotions as they are without suppressing them is the first step to recovery.
The second is ventilation.
The more accumulated emotions are sealed off, the sicker they become.
You need to let out your pent-up emotions in a safe environment.
Conversation, writing, counseling, or even tears become outlets for emotions.
The third is Values.
People with high-functioning depression are so preoccupied with what they "have to do" that they lose sight of what they "want to do."
The author advises redefining the values you truly value and repositioning them as the center of your life.
The fourth stage is Vitals, which restores the connection between body signals and emotions.
People with high-functioning depression lose self-care by falling into the self-deception that "I'm not tired" and "I don't need to rest."
Sensing and caring for the subtle signals your body sends is key to emotional recovery.
The last fifth is Vision.
The author defines vision as “the courage to envision one’s own success.”
High-functioning depressed people often dismiss their achievements by saying, “I was just lucky.”
But as we accumulate experiences that recognize and reward our accomplishments, we can begin to imagine a more positive future, and our joy in life grows again.
“It’s not just a book.
“It is a map that will lead you back to the ‘me’ you have been searching for.”
Mel Robbins (author of Let Them Theory)
This book is about asking yourself, “Am I okay now?” and helping you regain the sense of “me” that you may have lost at some point.
It goes beyond revealing the true nature of high-functioning depression and suggests a path to recovery that will lead you back to a place of vitality where your emotions have stopped.
Only when we rediscover the emotions, bodily signals, and small joys we have long ignored do the trajectories of our lives begin to shift subtly.
So, as Mel Robbins says, this book is “not just a book, but a map back to the lost self.”
This book will help us listen again to the signals of our emotions, relationships, and bodies that we have lost while focusing on performance and roles.
“Are you living or are you just holding on?” The moment you honestly face that question, your recovery has already begun.
