A person does not need to "look depressed" in order to have depression. In my experience, people who have depression can be very good at 'wearing masks' (at school, at work, at sports practice or games, at church, etc etc). I hope that even with all this mask wearing, the person can 'drop the masks' and truly talk with some people - his/her doctor, his/her therapist, his/her really good friend, to name a few.
