But close friends and loved ones can often detect changes in one's mood, dispositionand emotional state for good or for ill. Of course, if you're actively trying to fool them - then they may not be able to see through your shields. I can tell you that my ex went from being nearly impossible to be close to - to being quite stable within a few weeks of starting an SSRI. She was not faking it to make me feel better - she was genuinely coping with the world and handling her issues with much more stability than she had at any time in the prior two years of our relationship. It was a sea change and not a subtle one - but she didn't even realize how far she had come in so short of time.
