<ul class="summary-list"><li>Last year, Ellie Furuya got married at a luxury resort in Phuket, Thailand.</li><li>Furuya says she would do a few things differently if she could go back.</li></ul>Ellie Furuya, 32, is a Hong Kong-based influencer, the founder of Rii Swim, a swimwear brand, and a mother. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.After six years of navigating life and love, my now-husband and I finally <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-wealthy-couples-spend-money-wedding-planner-tradition-venue-entertainment-2024-10">tied the knot</a> last year in Phuket.I grew up in Hong Kong and was raised in a Japanese family. After graduating from an international high school, I spent time in Tokyo, completed my master's degree in London, and eventually returned home.It was back in Hong Kong that I met my now-husband, Jon.Deciding that I wanted to marry him was easy, but picking where we wanted to hold our <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/long-engagement-frugal-fiances-pay-for-own-wedding-2024-5">wedding was complicated</a>.Jon also comes from a mixed background — he was born and raised in Singapore and grew up in Bangkok, New Delhi, and London — he's half-Thai and half-English.With friends and family around the world, there wasn't one obvious place to host the wedding. But eventually, we decided that <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fat-fire-early-retirement-usa-thailand-passive-income-dad-hobbies-2024-4">Phuket</a>, in southern Thailand, was the right spot. Jon has roots there, and we knew our guests would appreciate the beaches and culture. Our son, Kenzo, was seven months old at the time.We got married in November at <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rosewood-kona-village-review-hawaii-resort-big-island-2024-10">Rosewood</a> Phuket, a five-star resort with views of the Andaman Sea. Looking back, I'd still choose Phuket, but there were certain logistics I'd tackle differently.If I could <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-unique-ideas-weddings-from-expert-planner">plan our wedding</a> all over again, here are five things I'd change.<div type="image" title="Two men, backs turned, holding umbrellas." height="4000" width="6000" msid="115234745" hostid="261" sizebytes="1599612"></div><h2 id="87c83346-d273-47e6-b27c-d2c14fd9bda2">1. Prepare for rain, no matter what</h2>We <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/answers-to-wedding-questions-guests-too-scared-to-ask-2021-6">planned our wedding</a> during the dry season, convinced that we'd be safe from rain. But as anyone who's ever experienced tropical weather can attest, you can never be too sure.On our wedding day, the skies opened up just as I was about to walk down the aisle, transforming our carefully planned outdoor ceremony into a battle against the elements. While we had a glass rain cover for the reception, the aisle itself was not adequately protected, leading to muddy shoes and a slippery situation for my bridal party.<h2 id="8a9dd868-443d-4ee0-9218-bde1191c2b3f">2. Commit fully to local cuisine</h2>One of the highlights of any <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-marrying-st-lucia-wedding-wedding-tips-advice-2022-6">destination wedding</a> is the opportunity to showcase local flavors.Our guests enjoyed the Thai buffet we offered on the first night, but when it came time for the wedding meal, we veered into Mediterranean cuisine. While the food was presented well, it didn't resonate as strongly with our setting or the experiences we wanted to share. If I could do it again, I would prioritize Thai food throughout the entire weekend.<div type="image" title="Baby being pushed down the aisle during wedding reception." height="3770" width="5655" msid="115234750" hostid="261" sizebytes="825114"></div><h2 id="351f05be-e426-4552-9a12-a77acb7574f4">3. Stick to a strict budget</h2>As our guest list grew from an initial 50 to 139 attendees, so did our budget. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/couple-winery-wedding-budget-breakdown-venue-flowers-decor-costs-2024-3">Wedding costs</a> can spiral quickly, especially when you're planning a destination event.With guests traveling in from overseas, we planned a party on Friday with a dinner buffet. On Saturday, we opted for a four-course Mediterranean dinner with four hours of free flow.Once extras, including a Thai noodle cart, flowers, fire-spinning entertainers, and the custom wagon we had built for our son, were added in, it added up to around $500 per guest for the two nights.<h2 id="bf78c090-c5bb-4af4-b832-20b847bf9150">4. Educate guests about the area</h2>Many of our guests were <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-things-to-do-in-thailand-frequent-traveler-multiple-visits-2024-1">visiting Thailand</a> for the first time, and I realized I hadn't provided enough information about the local culture. After the wedding, I found out that most of my guests stayed on the hotel grounds the entire time, and with a bit more guidance, I could have encouraged them to go out exploring.<div type="image" title="Taking shots and dancing during wedding reception." height="4000" width="6000" msid="115234748" hostid="261" sizebytes="657308"></div><h2 id="0aa3b7c1-432b-4389-a52a-ed5c29c3401c">5. Create an inclusive experience for guests</h2>Reflecting on the event, I realize I could have done more to make the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/things-to-consider-before-you-have-kid-friendly-wedding-2022-2">wedding more kid-friendly</a>. The celebration unintentionally became quite adult-centric, centered on lively parties and plenty of drinks, which may have led guests with small children to leave early.While we did offer babysitting services and guests had access to the resort's kids' playhouse, I would have provided more activities tailored for parents and children. Simple additions like custom coloring books and goodie bags could have created a more inclusive atmosphere for everyone.

We got married at a luxury resort in Thailand. If I could go back, there are 5 things I'd do differently.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The NYC park where Marjorie Taylor Greene hosted a Trump rally used to be an open sewer. </li><li>Collect Pond Park was then a blossoming new neighborhood, and later the center of a gang-filled slum. </li></ul>Hours before former President Donald Trump plans to surrender to the Manhattan District Attorney Tuesday, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene joined a rally in New York City's Collect Pond Park to protest the former president's indictment. Trump encouraged his supporters to protest outside of the courthouse, and about 100 people actually showed up; they were outnumbered by reporters. The Tuesday morning crowds were mainly comprised of reporters covering the day's events, and even counter-protestors who showed up in opposition to the former president, largely outnumbering the pro-Trump group. But the park — just steps outside of the DA's office in downtown Manhattan — wasn't always the patch of greenery inside New York's concrete jungle. The small area was once a pond filled with drinking water that later became a disgusting, stinky open sewer and the center of a gang-filled slum where mobsters like Lucky Luciano and Al Capone got their start.Here's the winding history of the unusual NYC park:<h2>Collect Pond used to supply NYC with drinking water</h2><div type="image" title="Engraved illustration shows the 'Collect Pond,' also known as the Kolch or Kalch-Hook Pond, New York, New York, 1700s. The spring-fed pond was one of the city's primary drinking water sources. It later became the site of the Five Points neighborhood." height="3897" width="5196" msid="99223018" hostid="261"></div>In the 18th century, the land on Leonard Street between Centre and Lafayette Streets used to be a "sixty-foot deep pool fed by an underground spring," <a href="https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/collect-pond-park/history">according to New York City's Department of Parks &amp; Recreation</a>. The water at the time was clean and pure enough that it supplied drinking water to the area through the end of the 1700s. At the time, the locals used the area a common space for activities like picnics or ice skating when the pond froze over in the winter. In 1796, John Fitch tested one of the first-ever experimental steamboats on the pond, New York's parks department said. The pond got its name from Dutch settlers in the seventeenth century who dubbed it "kolch," or "small body of water." Over time, the name was changed to "collect" as native English speakers took control the land, according to the parks department website. <h2>By the 19th century, the clean pond became a sewer — then a neighborhood</h2>At the turn of the century, the once-pure pond had been transformed into a communal open sewer by nearby businesses. Slaughterhouses, tanneries, and breweries dumped refuse into the pond during the start of the industrial revolution, <a href="https://www.tenement.org/blog/what-lies-beneath-a-history-of-collect-pond/">according to the Tenement Museum</a>.By 1805, out of disgust for the trash-filled water (and accompanying smells), city officials devised a plan to drain the sewer water and fill the hole with land from a nearby hill. In 1805, the city ordered the pond to be drained. But the drainage caused the surrounding land to become marshy, so 1807, the city built a canal that would bring the water all the way to the Hudson River, according to the Tenement Museum. It was all drained by 1811, but the smells wafting from the canal were still pretty foul. To fix the problem, city workers started construction to cover the canal; that's now NYC's Canal Street. It took six years for the city to fill the hole that was once Collect Pond, according to the parks department. In 1811, construction began on a new neighborhood — Paradise Square — that was poised to sit atop the new land and boasted new apartment buildings. But because of the land's roots, and the area's high water table, the neighborhood began to sink — and stink —in the 1820s, prompting many of the affluent businessmen who had just moved there to flock to other areas of the city, according to the Tenement Museum. <h2>The failed neighborhood became known for the "Five Points" in the 1830s</h2><div type="image" title="Illustration (from 1874) depicting a map of 'Collect Pond,' overlain with the site of The Tombs prison and the notorious Five Points intersection of Cross Street (or Park), Anthony Street (or Worth), and Orange Street (or Baxter). The Collect Pond functioned as New York City's primary water supply for its first two centuries of settlement." height="2931" width="3908" msid="99223019" hostid="261"></div>Once Paradise Square failed as a new city neighborhood, the area became known as "Five Points," or the convergence of five streets: Mulberry Street, Anthony Street, Cross Street, Orange Street, and Little Water Street, according to the parks department. The neighborhood quickly shifted to be poor and dangerous in the 1830s, most well-known for its "crime and filth," according to the parks department, the new apartment buildings suddenly opened for poorer city residents and newly arriving immigrants who could live there for cheap, according to the Tenement Museum. According to the Tenement Museum, "Five Points" became one of the most well-known immigrant slums in the city at the time. The streets were rife with criminals and gangs in the 1830s, and, according to the parks department, some early 20th-century criminals — such as Lucky Luciano and Al Capone — got their start in "Five Points" gangs. <h2>City officials condemned the area in the early twentieth century </h2>In addition to high crime rates and poor living conditions, the neighborhood was densely populated and sat on top of an underground swamp, causing massive disease outbreaks by the beginning of the 1900s. According to New York City's parks department, nearly all of the city's 20-century cholera outbreaks can be traced to this area. "Five Points" finally started turning around after journalist Jacob Riis published "How The Other Half Lives" in 1890. The book revealed the squalid conditions of many living throughout NYC, specifically on the Lower East Side, and sparked concern with city officials. Four years after its publication, NYC officials condemned nearly all of the tenement buildings in the area, "ridding the community of crime and filth," according to the parks department. The area was built up and is now known as Civic Center. <h2>The area finally became a park in 1960 </h2><div type="image" title="People gather for the public unveil of the newest work by artist Luciano Garbati, 'Medusa With The Head of Perseus', at Collect Pond Park in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., October 13, 2020." height="2208" width="2944" msid="99223020" hostid="261"></div>It wasn't until 1960 that NYC's Board of Estimate gave the area Parks jurisdiction.Until then, the property was known as Civil Court Park until a City Commissioner changed the name to Collect Pond Park, paying homage to the pond that once sat on the same land. The park now boasts open, green areas, and plenty of benches and trees. The park can now add "site of a pro-Trump rally" to its long and winding history.

Given its robust franchisee model, valuations, and strong expansion plans — analysts had recommended subscribing to this IPO. According to Angel Broking, Burger King was priced at a significant discount compared to Jubilant Foodworks and looking at the valuation and the growth of the company, the issue was ‘attractive.’ The IPO opened up on December 2, and ahead of the offering, the company raised ₹364.5 crore from 55 anchor investors, including ICICI Prudential, Fidelity Funds, Government of Singapore, IDFC MF, SBI MF, among others. The IPO price band was set at ₹59-60 per share, and the grey market premium promises strong listing gains. The grey market premium of the food giant also soared nearly 58% to ₹34-35, up from 42% on the first day of subscription. The grey market premium is the measure of the extra amount that the market is ready to pay for a newly listed company’s shares. However, it is not an official measure of the market premium. But it is a fair indicator of demand for the shares in the market.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>With smiling depression, you might hide your true emotions and your mood may briefly lift at times.</li><li>You may mask depression if you learned to hide feelings in childhood or think people will judge you.</li></ul>Smokey Robinson once sang, "People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two … Although I might be laughing loud and hearty, deep inside I'm blue." Lines like these perfectly illustrate the concept of smiling depression: This term describes someone who puts on a happy face to mask their emotional pain. Smiling depression isn't a medical diagnosis, but if you tend to mask your emotions with smiles and jokes it could mean you have a specific type of depression called <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/what-is-depression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">major depressive disorder</a> (MDD) with <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338987674_Smiling_depression_an_emerging_threat_Let%27s_Talk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">atypical features</a>, says <a href="http://samnabil.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sam Nabil</a>, a licensed professional counselor and CEO and Lead Therapist of <a href="https://www.nayaclinics.com/counseling-in-boston-massachusetts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naya Clinics</a>. A diagnosis of <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21131-atypical-depression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MDD with atypical features</a> means your symptoms don't match what experts consider "typical" for depression. So, your mood might temporarily improve when good things happen, and <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/high-functioning-depression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">you may not seem sad or down</a> to other people — which can make it harder to get a diagnosis. Here's what to know about the signs and causes of smiling depression, as well as how to get support for this condition.<h2>Signs of smiling depression</h2>Like other types of depression, smiling depression can involve a range of symptoms, according to <a href="https://www.cooperriis.org/staff/william-anixter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. WIlliam Anixter</a>, a psychiatrist and director of the Asheville Community Program at <a href="http://www.cooperriis.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Riis Healing Community</a>. Examples include:<ul><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/why-cant-i-sleep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Changes in sleep</a>, appetite, or weight</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/reasons-i-dont-like-sex-2018-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reduced interest in sex</a> and intimacy</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/how-to-focus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Difficulty concentrating</a></li><li>Lethargy or <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/what-causes-fatigue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fatigue</a></li><li>Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness</li><li>Loss of interest in doing previously enjoyable activities</li></ul>Note: Physical health concerns such as fatigue, body aches, and GI issues like nausea and diarrhea are common with smiling depression — but these symptoms <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5914271/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can make it harder to get the right diagnosis</a>. It's important to let your doctor know about any feelings of depression you experience. Yet, despite these symptoms, people with smiling depression may appear cheerful and optimistic to not just strangers but also friends, family members, and coworkers.Of course, keeping up the facade of happiness while despair bubbles under the surface can feel exhausting. It can also keep you from sharing your feelings with loved ones, which may worsen <a href="https://www.insider.com/effects-loneliness-health-2018-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loneliness</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/how-social-isolation-affects-mental-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">isolation</a>, according to Anixter.The more successfully a person can convince the world around them they're OK, the less likely they'll get the support they need, says Dr. Edward Ratush, a board-certified psychiatrist, medical director at <a href="https://www.cge-nj.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Center for Great Expectations</a>, and co-founder of <a href="https://www.sohomd.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SohoMD</a>.Smiling depression may also involve a higher risk of suicide. While all types of depression can lead to thoughts of <a href="https://www.insider.com/call-988-mental-health-support-suicide-prevention-us-2022-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide</a>, Ratush says people with smiling depression are often more likely to <a href="https://www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/September-2016/What-You-Need-to-Know-About-Smiling-Depression%E2%80%9D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have the energy</a> to form a plan and act on it.Important: If you're having thoughts of suicide, help is available right now. You can get free, confidential support from compassionate crisis counselors by calling <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/988" target="_blank" rel="noopener">988</a> to reach the <a href="https://988lifeline.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Suicide and Crisis Lifeline</a> or texting "HOME" to 741741 to reach the <a href="https://www.crisistextline.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crisis Text Line</a>.<h2>Examples of smiling depression</h2>Experts say smiling depression is no less severe than other forms of depression. A few examples of how smiling depression might play out in real life:Example 1: John consistently achieves high grades in all of his grad school classes, and his classmates describe him as having a sunny disposition. When a friend invites him to have dinner after class, he makes an excuse about needing to study — in reality, he's exhausted from putting on a happy face all day and doesn't have much of an appetite. Usually, he'd be excited to get home in time for his favorite hobby — cooking — but lately, he doesn't have the energy or interest to plan and prepare meals, so he picks up fast food for dinner instead.Example 2: Sally's social media followers scroll through posts showing her awe-inspiring travels, loving relationship with her partner, and impressive career successes. Most of them think she really does "have it all." Followers know Sally for her infectious smile. But they don't know she cries herself to sleep at night, though she has no idea why, or that she's been avoiding sex with her boyfriend because she no longer feels any pleasure or connection from intimacy.<h2>Causes</h2>A number of things can contribute to smiling depression.For example, Anixter says that your caregivers may have taught you to hide your emotions by saying "men don't cry," or ridiculing you when you told them you were sad.Knowing what causes your depression can help you identify it and seek support. Some <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338987674_Smiling_depression_an_emerging_threat_Let%27s_Talk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">common triggers of smiling depression</a> include:<ul><li>The death <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/what-to-say-to-someone-who-lost-a-loved-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">of a loved one</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-grieve-a-lost-job-and-deal-with-uncertainty-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Losing your job</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/sex-relationships/how-to-break-up-with-someone-you-love" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ending a relationship</a></li><li><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338987674_Smiling_depression_an_emerging_threat_Let%27s_Talk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Feeling a mismatch between your true self and your "ideal self"</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7364393/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Social media use</a></li><li>Holding yourself to impossibly high standards</li></ul>In particular, "your identity — how you see yourself — strongly determines whether you will mask your depression or not," Ratush says.Moreover, social media doesn't help. Many people only share their most positive moments on social networks, and that pressure to show happiness and success in your own life, whether you feel it or not, can contribute to smiling depression.Finally, when you have high expectations for yourself, Nabil says any perceived "failures" may lead to crushing shame, <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/imposter-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">self-doubt</a>, or <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/insecurity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insecurity</a>. And when you don't meet those expectations, your fear of disappointing yourself, or others, may fuel your depression by making you feel like you're "not enough."<h2>Risk factors</h2>The cultural <a href="https://www.insider.com/cyclothymia-mental-health-struggles-shame-stigma-secret-asian-american-2022-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stigma around depression</a> can play a part in smiling depression, too — if you consider your depression unacceptable or a sign of weakness, you might attempt to hide it however you can. "People with smiling depression think, 'I have too many responsibilities right now to be depressed,' or 'I can't acknowledge these feelings when others have it worse,'" Ratush says.You may also worry about what your partner or coworkers will think of you if you talk about your hopelessness, low mood, or any other symptoms of depression. Other <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29736070/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">risk factors</a> for smiling depression include:<ul><li>A <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/is-depression-genetic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">family history of depression</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/fitness/exercises-for-back-neck-headache-pain-at-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chronic pain</a> or <a href="https://www.insider.com/influencers-who-are-open-about-chronic-health-conditions-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chronic illness</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/perfectionism-definition-depression-anxiety-mental-health-2018-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Perfectionism</a></li><li>Lack of social support</li><li>Physical, sexual or emotional abuse</li></ul><h2>How to get support</h2>Since loved ones are less likely to notice the signs and symptoms of smiling depression, it's especially important to actively seek help when you need it.Anixter and Ratush advise working with a professional if smiling depression begins to:<ul><li>Damage your relationships</li><li>Make it impossible for you to keep up with work, school, or other obligations</li><li>Lead to <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/how-to-help-someone-having-a-mental-health-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thoughts of suicide</a></li><li>Negatively affect your sleeping or eating habits</li></ul>Smiling depression can make it harder to reach out for support, due to fear of what people will think, Ratush says.Important: Reaching out for help may feel challenging, but it can have a number of benefits. A therapist can help you identify possible sources of your depression, guide you in making lifestyle changes to reduce your symptoms, and collaborate with you in devising personalized coping strategies."Forming a trusting connection with a therapist to whom you can reveal your true feelings is a big first step to breaking free from the prison of social disconnection and isolation," Anixter says.Types of therapy that might prove particularly helpful for smiling depression include:<ul><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/cognitive-behavioral-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cognitive behavioral therapy</a> (CBT): This approach can <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6712954/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help you identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns</a> that drive your depression — for example, flawed beliefs about your need to maintain perfection.</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/acceptance-and-commitment-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Acceptance and commitment therapy</a> (ACT): This mindfulness-focused modality seeks to help you <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31563072/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">learn to accept your emotional pain</a> rather than deny, avoid or control it — which can actually make it worse in the long run.</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/interpersonal-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Interpersonal therapy</a>: If difficulties in your personal relationships cause or contribute to your depression, this approach can <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2020.00193/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help you learn to interact more effectively with others</a> so you're more likely to get your emotional needs met.</li></ul>You can search for a therapist near you using online databases like <a href="https://www.goodtherapy.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GoodTherapy</a>, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Psychology Today</a>, <a href="https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inclusive Therapists</a>, and <a href="https://www.therapytribe.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TherapyTribe</a>. These databases also offer the option to filter results by specialty — like depression.Depending on your symptoms and their severity, Anixter says your doctor or psychiatrist may also recommend <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/do-antidepressants-work" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antidepressant medication</a>, which can help improve your mood, sleep, and appetite.<h2>Insider's takeaway</h2>Loved ones may not always recognize the signs of smiling depression, and people with this condition may find it difficult to reach out for help. That's why it's important to know the warning signs.You may have a greater chance of experiencing smiling depression if you have <a href="https://www.insider.com/perfectionism-definition-depression-anxiety-mental-health-2018-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perfectionistic tendencies</a>, recently went through a significant life-changing event, have a family history of depression, or tend to compare yourself to others. No matter the cause, it's important to seek support for smiling depression if it has negative effects on your health, work, or relationships. A therapist can provide a safe space where you don't have to put on a smile and can candidly share your experiences without fear of judgment or other negative consequences.
