Science of Your Happiness™
The steps above are all based on the Science of Your Happiness ™
Many of us experience periods in our lives when something feels “off”: when we struggle to find joy in happy moments, and take little pleasure in things we used to enjoy. We might be motivated and productive at work, pulling our weight at home, and conducting a normal social life—but behind that façade we are barely surviving, and certainly not thriving.
We’re all familiar with what depression can look like, but there’s another, lesser‑known face to this illness. High functioning depression (HFD) doesn’t conform to the image of depression that typically comes to mind. As a result, people with HFD often have no idea why they are suffering, or what to do about it.
Tens Of Millions Of People Worldwide Suffer From High Functioning Depression. Are You One Of Them?
- You are unable to find pleasure in activities you used to enjoy.
- You feel emotionally numb or detached, like you’re on autopilot. You struggle to concentrate or complete tasks that you previously handled with ease.
- You are tired all the time but your anxious energy makes it hard to sleep.
- You feel apathy about the present and dread for the future.
- You avoid seeking help for your problems so as not to burden others.
- You often feel inadequate or overwhelmed by guilt. You don’t stop to enjoy your wins; you’re too busy striving for the next one.

What is High Functioning Depression?
High Functioning Depression is a condition where people walk around looking okay and put together on the outside but they are really struggling on the inside. It is not only something that people who are high achieving and successful struggle with. The working parent who is taking care of everyone but herself, the stay-at-home caretaker who can’t afford to be “weak” because they are everyone’s rock, are all examples. When Dr. Judith started posting about HFD 2 years ago, the videos went viral and people started completing her HFD quizzes online. To date over 10K people have completed the scales anonymously and over 150 people and counting have participated in a clinical study on HFD in her lab.
The Collective Trauma we endure may also be a risk factor, and individual traumas make us even more at risk for HFD. Dr Judith’s unique trauma inventory takes 4 types of trauma into consideration, childhood, adulthood, intergenerational and collective trauma.
After 2020 many people have yet to process the trauma of the pandemic, the police brutality, political uprisings and wars. Many have not even processed their own personal traumas. Dr. Judith has developed unique trauma inventories to determine how this impacts the risk of developing HFD.
Many cope with trauma by distracting themselves with work, busying themselves with duties and engaging in self soothing behaviors that are unhealthy. Some of these behaviors are social media addiction, online shopping, overusing substances, overworking and over committing ourselves. They don’t necessarily enjoy these behaviors and they may lead them to feel numb and a sense of “blah” or “meh”, called Anhedonia.
Anhedonia may also be the result of trauma. This numbing leads one to feel as if they are going through the motions. They don’t enjoy life as much, and they are just on autopilot. Anhedonia is a sneaky condition and, if unaddressed, may lead to people going from High Functioning and depressed to low functioning and depressed. The anhedonia quiz she developed in her lab allows readers of her book to focus on areas of their life that need to be improved so they have a fuller and more satisfying life.
