10 Signs of High Functioning Depression
The symptoms of High Functioning Depression (HFD) are similar to that of clinical depression. Many people suffer from High Functioning Depression, and might not even know it; do ~you~ have HFD? 10 signs of High Functioning Depression include being more intelligent than the average cohort, having tendencies of perfectionism, and having a family history of depression. People with high functioning depression often try to endure it without getting proper help, which allows HFD to build up gradually more and more overtime. Those with HFD don't engage in regular hobbies, and tend to confuse high functioning depression with burnout. People with high functioning depression might have symptoms of clinical depression. Do you have high functioning depression? Do you have any stories or coping mechanisms that you would like to share? Please let the Psych2Go community know, in the comment section!

10 Subtle Signs Someone Feels Attracted To You
Do you wonder how to tell if someone likes you? The signs of attraction can be very subtle, from body language attraction signs like: responding to the sound of you voice, uncrossed legs, leaning in, touching and eye contact. However, some of these physical signs of attraction can be even more subtle like someone playing hard to get, hinting their availability, or showing pupil dilation. If you're someone interested in learning more about the signs someone likes you, watch this video.

10 Signs of Emotional Abuse from Parents
Unlike physical abuse, being emotionally abused doesn’t leave you with visible scars or bruises that can be easy to detect. In the U.S., every ten seconds, a report of child abuse is made. That means on a yearly basis, this involves more than 6.6 million children who are affected. Emotional abuse weakens the individual’s emotional development and sense of self-worth that can have lifelong damaging effects. Here are 10 signs of emotional abuse from parents
