Key wellness strategies & self-care / support tips
- Recognize “masked” depression: Depression can appear as normal smiles or calmness even when someone is struggling deeply (“smiling depression”).
- Understand the “relief” warning sign: After making the decision to end their life, some people may look noticeably calmer or happier due to anticipated relief—not because they’re actually improving.
- Watch for escalation patterns: Be especially alert if the “calmer/happier” shift follows a period of deep depression.
- Actively check in on others: If you’re concerned about someone, reach out and check on your friends rather than assuming everything is fine.
