“Smiling Depression” Is Exactly What It Sounds Like, & That’s The Scary Part
[[link removed]] 
It’s all in the name: Smiling depression is a form of depression in which a
person appears to be happy and even thriving on the outside, while suffering on
the inside. The mental health concern is especially dangerous since it's more
difficult to detect compared to other types of depression, posing a risk for
people to not get the essential support they need. On top of that, teens and
young adults may also express false beliefs like "my parents already have enough
to worry about" or "I just have to suck it up" that can prevent them from
seeking help.
If you're concerned that your teen may be experiencing mental health struggles,
you should know there are resources for you as a parent. Newport Academy is a
provider of teen and adolescent mental health service across the United States,
and they offer a range of resources — from telehealth sessions to residential
programs — that prioritize the health and wellbeing of your teen and your
family.
