The way they excitedly talk about their lives and future plans give me the impression they are not depressed

they doesn’t mean they aren’t depressed. a lot of depressed people will also do this to keep up appearances and not worry people. but regardless, you can still have future plans and be depressed. i have plans and things i want to do but i still have severe clinical depression and feel incapable of acting on those plans. but i will put on a face for other people to try and be more friendly. you never truly know what someone is going through. let’s not assume without hearing their story
