High-functioning doesn’t mean you’re not suffering horribly every single day. It can mean you’re a strong willed and good at masking.
I was “functional” through a four month long psychotic break in which I was constantly one mistake from people finding out I wasn’t human and killing me. (I’m fine now. No lasting trauma fortunately.)
How someone looks from the outside isn’t a good measure of their mental health. How many people have been depressed and killed themselves without any obvious warnings?
