Hello and welcome again to SelfWork! We\'ve got one more week until we\'re back live! \\xa0But I\'ve chosen some of the most popular episodes to listen to a second time around! And of course, today\'s episode is one very close to my heart.

What\\u2019s the difference, or is there one, between Perfectly Hidden Depression and what\\u2019s called high-functioning depression? I\\u2019m particularly motivated \\u2013 in fact very sadly motivated \\u2013 to talk about it because of an email I received this week from a woman whose husband killed himself. He was in his early 40\\u2019s. And no one could believe it. He had a perfect-looking life. Children he loved, a career he felt excited about, friends and family that loved him. Yet he couldn\\u2019t communicate his darker emotions, emotions that would lead him to suicide.\\xa0We\\u2019ll talk about the difference \\u2013 and why that difference matters. In fact, why that difference has to be understood.

The listener email will feature the woman who wrote me about the sudden suicide of her husband, and I\\u2019ll answer her questions concerning where to go from where she is.
