I've been told that "I don't look depressed" or that I'm too beautiful to be depressed. I find that maddening. Outward appearance has no effect on mental illness.

In the throes of deep depression (MDD), I was once told "you don't look depressed, you seem happy." Because I was out and about, and engaged in conversation. It really is very hard for most people, even those with mh issues themselves sometimes, to understand mental illness and the inner experiences of others. Mental illness related, or not.
