How do you show your happiness or sadness?
Millions of people have depression. Some common symptoms of depression are feeling sad and hopeless. People with depression might avoid others and want to be alone.
However,not everyone with depression shows these symptoms. Some people appear happy and confident around others, but hide their depression inside. This is called smiling depression. They could worry about not being liked if they show their depression. Or, they might think their depression will go away if they act happy.
Smiling depression can be more dangerous than other kinds of depression. People might only know they are in great pain if they start hurting themselves. What’s worse,they might sometimes turn to suicide in the end.
读之前想想看：怎么表达自己的快乐或悲伤？
数百万人患有忧郁症。忧郁症的一些常见症状包括感到悲伤和绝望。忧郁症患者可能会回避人群、希望独处。
然而，并不是每位患者都会表现出这些症状。有些人在别人面前看似快乐又有自信，但内心却藏着忧郁情绪。这就叫微笑忧郁症。微笑忧郁症患者担心如果自己表现出忧郁情绪，就会被讨厌。或者，他们认为只要假装快乐，忧郁的情绪就会消失。
微笑忧郁症可能比其他类型的忧郁症更具危险性。只有在患者开始伤害自己时，才会被他人察觉他们已身陷极大的痛苦中。更糟的是，有时他们可能会转以自杀收场。
