Do you feel you’re simply going through the motions? Succeeding at work, pulling your weight at home, living an active social life… yet deep down, you feel drained? If so, you may be experiencing High-Functioning Depression.

In the first book to uncover this common yet misunderstood condition, Columbia University psychiatrist Dr Judith Joseph combines her experiences with brand-new research and client cases to demystify HFD. She unveils her unique methodology known as the five V\'s: Validation, Venting, Values, Vitals and Vision. These empowering steps help us put an end to self-sacrifice and self-sabotage, heal our relationships, and go from barely surviving to truly thriving.
