Unseen pain is the emotional, mental, or physical struggle that individuals experience quietly, without outward signs that are immediately visible to others. This can include mental health challenges like anxiety and depression, chronic illnesses that aren't physically apparent, or even grief and emotional distress. For example, your coworker may seem fine on the surface but secretly be battling intense anxiety, or a friend might carry the burdens of chronic pain daily without a word of complaint. Unseen pain is all around us, and understanding it requires deliberate effort and empathy.
