Depression and the voice
I have a question. Does depression always show in the voice? Like do you have to have obvious signs with the way you sound to be depressed? I was wondering as doctors usually put things like ‘sounds okay’ etc. but yet how do you know what’s going on with someone’s condition? It just got me thinking.
