Its laughter seems to be able to melt the glaciers of the Arctic and amuse the penguins of the Antarctic, but it cannot nourish the increasingly haggard body and mind.
It loves to laugh, and the laughter is very unique, and it laughs all the time; it seems to last until the end of life.
Its name is the opposite of the word - smiling depression, in front of the outside world to appear sunny, funny, humorous, better than funny; but in private there is no sense of value, only a deep sense of despair and collapse.

After a long period of psychotherapy, its owner said to the doctor, "Thank you, I am much better." The counselor chuckled and savored the subtext: He may not come again, and may begin to plan the next self-harm.
A psychotherapist once said that smiling depressed people are much more uncertain than typical depressed people. When they smile and thank you for your help, saying that they have improved, they may have decided in their hearts that they are going to commit suicide. This is where smiling depression is dangerous.
How therapists wished it had never really existed in this world. In fact, its owners are everywhere. He may have been Kim . Carey, Sado · Parra, probably also Rowan Atkinson, Robin Williams, or Mary and Shirley Trish.
Yes, their happiness is disguised. So why do they hide despair and sadness so deeply?
The smiling depression group thinks that they are strong, strong enough to deal with negative emotions freely, without talking to the people around them, and they can be optimistic again.
Even the more bitter the heart, the sweeter the smile on the face, indulging in smile depression can not help themselves.
There are two basic types of cognition in this group. The first category considers depression to be a manifestation of weakness and lack of self-control. I am everyone's pistachio and public figure, and in order to maintain my own image, I will definitely not declare that I have problems in this regard. The second category, this is only a short period of sadness, after a while it is natural to be good, relax on your own, and take a vacation.
Based on the former type of cognition: depression equals shame, I can't lose people, so I don't have depression, how to prove that I am not depressed? Then I laugh and don't tell the outside world.
To change this perception, you can make the other party dialectically look at the relationship between depression and shame. The good news is that in recent years, many public figures have publicly (once) suffered from smiling depression, so that the disease is no longer stigmatized.
In the second type of cognition, the individual cannot correctly recognize his depression and refuses to acknowledge these abnormalities. If you are in a low mood on a regular basis and you are in a state that lasts for more than 2 weeks at a time, you need to be vigilant.

In fact, another deep reason for smiling depression is not to talk to - do not want to be a burden to others, do not want to bother to talk to the object.
No matter which family and friend you choose to be your emotional trash can, it is a kind of harm to the other party. This kind of deliberate and well-intentioned concealment is not easy to be detected. And when they volunteered to seek medical attention, the depression had persisted for a long time.
As with typical depression, talking is a good way to get rid of bad emotions. If you have someone around you who is deeply depressed by smiling, try to guide her to pour bitter water and be an unconditional supporter. If her condition persists for a long time, seek the help of a professional psychologist (student).
Happiness can be disguised, depression should not be hidden!
You are a small person in the big world, and you are a big person in the small world. The small world cannot do without you, and the semi-pedantic accompany you.
