Intelligence has nothing to do with depression. It is all about perception. If you mean that intelligent people get depressed if they fail sometimes then that totally depends on them. People who can manage their life well will always be happy.

Why don't you address issues like poverty, over population, suicide, failure, competion, reservation. You can still smile? Oh yes, I forgot death, destruction, disease, and the 7 sins. If Siddharth had thought this way, there wouldn't be Buddhism!!!

Intelligence has everything to be postive, means u r so divorced from reality. Eg, a boy will never accept rejection bec he is too postive about himself, u r a joke!!! And a girl who needs help will never get it bec she is too psotive despite everyuthing in her life being wrong!!!! Instead of hiding the truth, seek real help and change your destiny around!!!

No one got the point. The idea is to feel the dissatisfaction and temporary nature of fleeting material possessions. Not embed yourself in them!!!

Intelligence has probably nothing to do with depression. Depression is caused by repressed fears and anxiety manifests which can lead to depression. Sometimes even anger behind depression.

Intelligence is the cerebral function of a human being. Intelligence is nothing but an approach of a person towards any situation, problem, achievement or difficulty(in shorts.. towards life). Also, intelligence gets developed with the well developed thoughts in human brain. With intelligence, one can analyse, compare, look through, conclude and find out solution on any problem.

Now the root causes of depression are various. Depression may be the result of the effect of the wrong decisions in life. Depression may come because of failure, in relationships, comparisons with other people or lacking of desired things in life.

So, its not necessary that every intelligent person is depress or not depress. As sometime, though we are intelligent enough to deal with the problem we loose control over it and it leads us towards depression. intelligent country like USA was into deep depression due to sub-prime crisis in year 2008-09. Many intelligent people had committed suicide because of financial depression and even their intelligence could not help them to get rid of it instantly.

 

So its a vague argument that " The more we intelligent, the more depress, we!!"

To be happy, you need both intelligence and wisdom. A very large percentage of us have been endowed with more intelligence than is necessary for us to function, but not the wisdom to use this intelligence. Therein lies the rub.

‘Intelligence is the cognitive ability of an individual to learn from experience, to reason well, to remember important information, and to cope with the demands of daily living’. - Sternberg In fact, a high IQ is a good predictor of depression. Why? Simply because those with higher intelligence are amazingly “creative” with their inner dialogues. Some of the characteristics of high intelligence are an above-average imagination, superior verbal ability, and advanced analytical skills. This is the perfect recipe for cooking-up very elaborate, and very negative, inner dialogues. And that’s exactly what happens. This helps explain the well-known phenomenon of “tormented geniuses”. Simply, their submission response is often out-of-control. And, despite their genius, they don’t know how to stop it.

According to Hindu scripture, the world and its expereinces are Maya, so how is it possible for ppl to believe those who say that happiness can be achieved without relaisation?? The more depressed you are, the more intelligent you are, is obviously the answer!!! Who is bluffing this time??

agree, sheetal, intelligence and depression are not correlated.The more intelligent the more managerial skills you have to manage, the things I find intelligent people more confident and not depressed.Depression is related with confused state of unintelligent person.

I totally disagree with Neha on the point of "the more depressed you are, the more intelligent you are." If you are depressed more, you get more confused and are not so intelligent to come out of your depression. But if you are intelligent enough, you can avoid depression to the most due to your intelligence only.

SO, THE MORE INTELLIGENT YOU ARE, THE LESSER DEPRESSED YOU ARE AND OBVIOUSLY BE HAPPIER THAN A DEPRESSED AND CONFUSED MAN.

it is not necessary and can not say because intelligent people can find any other ways for happy life. They can easily find other option and they are able to manage for their happiness. Everybody have strength and weakness..so we can not say that everybody are intelligent but we can definitely say that they are intelligent their specif area or subject..Thanks Ms.Sheetal for referal

Even if you are dull or intelligent but if your extraordinary desires and dreams are not coming true then one may feel depressed.

Dear Prithvi Raj,

Knowledge and intelligence are two different things. A person having knowldge but if he does not have a skill how to use that beneficially, cannot be treated as intelligent. Further, confusion is created only on account of partial knowledge only. If a person is well knowledgeable, he is difficult to be made confused. Persons with shallow knowledge or no knowledge get more confused on certain issues, even if they are right. They are not so confident to say something with certainty and assertiveness.

I support your views, Sheetal, very correctly said. It is purely depend upon on an individual's ability/capaicty to deal / come up with the situation. Thanks for referral, Sheetal.

If the intelligence creates confusion then for sure it is not an intelligence.

It's just a formal study that one completes and assumes the intelligence has come along with the study , and now it is creating confusion.

Infact to resolve the confusion is the intelligence, so may the term is not understood properly here a kind of fallacy

This is peculiar to Gujaratis. They will say and assert the opposite of what's there and reality and go out of their way to prove their bizarre stand. They dont seem to follow common logic, rationality or even sane ideas anymore.
Gujaratis are doing nothing to belong to the national fabric of the country. They continue to exist as separate, isolated identitites, and it will make no difference if they really are removed. Also, most gujarati businessmen are in it for personal...
