So something's gonna get what I found is that when you see people who are over functioning, a lot of times, it's not just them, it has been contagious, it spreads to their families, it spreads to their team, it spreads Even to their pets, right? Everyone's not happy. There's a lack of joy. The anhedonia spreads to the ecosystem.

Absolutely. Because the stomach disorder, by definition, has to impair your functioning. And that's why the term high function depression came up because there was just no place for people who have depressive symptoms who are overfunctioning. There's literally no place for them in the DSM-5.

And so the anhedonia that you're describing, that numbness, that blah, that is a major hallmark of high functioning depression. In my study, the first ever study on high function depression in the world was conducted in my lab. We just had a peer reviewed publication this year. Anhedonia is very important, but most people, even doctors don't know what it is.

If you ever go to your doctor and you're like, I feel numb, blah, I'm going through emotions, I'm overproducing, they're going to be like, why are you here, right? But it is a problem. We are built with the DNA to get joy. Like your son, you don't have to teach a child to be joyful. They just know. Watch any toddler, give them a box and a spoon, and they will play for hours, right?
