In Sophie Kinsella's book "Finding Audrey," the author explores the difficult nature of depression and its subtle signs. Unlike physical illnesses that present clear symptoms, depression often goes unnoticed by both the individual and others around them. This can lead to a false sense of well-being, as one may continually reassure themselves and others with phrases like "I'm fine."

The internal struggle of feeling unwell while projecting an image of being okay creates a cycle of confusion and frustration. The protagonist grapples with understanding why they are not truly fine, highlighting that mental health issues can be complex and misunderstood. This quote emphasizes the challenge of recognizing and addressing depression when it lacks visible markers.
