Depression can be tricky...

We mostly think that those that seem unhappy most of the time are depressed. But this is no often the case. Studies have shown that those that have a happy demeanor more often than not are more depressed. They just try to mask it with smiley faces.

So it is misleading to conclude that seemingly happy people cannot be depressed.

There was this meme I saw of two people, one is smiling widely and the other is not. It’s the person smiling that was actually diagnosed with depression and not the other. So I agree with you.
