I am a PG 23 year old who can't help but question if there is any relationship of statistical significance between depression (and other mental illnesses like Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, for instance) and extremely high intelligence (i.e. giftedness).
What do you all think? Do any of you have experience with this and know how to get a handle on it?
I am really hoping to get some answers; I know I am suffering a lot from mental afflictions and I always have. I don't want to feel alone in this anymore.
I am sorry to hear of your afflictions, but whether there is a correlation between giftedness and mental illness in general is a separate question from what kind of help you need.
