The first thing that came to mind, and maybe it's because I just had a podcast with Terry Real, but is the book I don't want to talk about it, which is about ostensibly male depression, but I think it can apply to women as well. Covert depression that is masked by different types of busyiness or addictive behavior, including.

Why people recommend it
Terrence Real's book "I Don't Want to Talk About It" explores male depression and covert forms of the condition masked by busyness and workaholism. Tim Ferriss recommended the book on The Tim Ferriss Show, suggesting it as a helpful resource for understanding covert depression and supporting someone whose intense work habits might mask deeper emotional struggles. Ferriss noted that he had recently hosted Real on his podcast and praised the book as instructive. Dr. John Delony also frequently recommends the work on The Dr. John Delony Show, listing it among the top five most impactful books of his lifetime when discussing healthy masculinity and relationship dynamics. Additionally, a caller named Jacob shared on the show that he had recently finished reading the text, noting that its contents felt uncannily like a personal biography of his own life experiences. Readers consistently turn to Real's insights to recognize unrecognized emotional pain, break cycles of silence, and address the hidden behavioral patterns that prevent individuals from seeking genuine psychological healing and emotional connection.
