In reply to depression and intelligence, posted by raisinb on February 4, 2009, at 16:02:47
I've thought about this topic before. Personally, I know that my over-analytic nature coupled with my sensitivity has not helped my depression. I think these traits of hyperanalysis and sensitivity are probably more prominent in intelligent people, but as others said, depression affects people across the spectrum of intelligence. It's an interesting topic - I've tried to look up some studies and the results seem mixed. One study even said people who are highly intelligent are better able to adapt, and less likely to be depressed. Hmmm.
