    it doesn't.
    mental illness is something that happens as a result of low IQ.
    "mental illness" means that the brain isn't functioning correctly, which lowers IQ. "mental illness" is synonymous with "brain damage", mentally ill people are low IQ people

      Well, no, that's a slightly different question. In that case you're looking at developmental disorders, things like that. What he's probably asking about is "acquired" mental illnesses you develop in life.

      ... Yes for sake of argument I am totally ignoring the genetic component related to that later life development. For simplicity sake.

      This one is very good as it's a longitudinal wave study assessing "premorbid" (so pre-illness) IQ and later risk of development. In general, lower IQ is worse for risk of developing mental illnesses.

          Ah yes, thank you. I do find it somewhat amusing people continue to study this when the overall findings of studies for many decades now keeps confirming what is essentially the same thing. "No relationship" and "a protective effect" seems generally consistently found.

          >High intelligence even appears as a protective factor for general anxiety and PTSD.
          Correlation does not imply causation. Did they control for military service since that is a risk factor for PTSD? People coming from financially disadvantaged households with few work opportunities have greater stress and anxiety than those from economically privileged backgrounds. It's not that lower IQ leads to increased stress and anxiety but the unfair conditions that people with low IQ have to suffer under capitalism lead to increased stress and anxiety. And the privileged lifestyles that people with higher IQ have no shit provide a "protective effect" and they evidently didn't control for that either. That study is bunk. You could almost say: debunked.

            Since you appear unaware, that is not how you generally approach a subject with a long history of research. While individual studies have limitations, it is the totality or corpus or suite of evidence taken together that determines ones sense of something.

            The only relevance an individual paper tends to have, barring the exceptional, is when someone raises it as a point in favor of something contested when the study itself cannot support the claim. For this topic, there have been longitudinal studies aplenty that control for things like poverty (often described "SES" or socioeconomic status). There are also studies on this in behavioral biology, specifically genetics, that likewise show a protective or resistance effect. Retrospectives from cohorts in other studies that've recorded mental illnesses or cognitive declines, also, tend to show this.

            This is why dismissing a whole idea on the mistaken assessment of a single study is just, well, not even wrong. It's laughable. Childish. Like dismissing IQ, the single most well evidenced construct in all of psychometrics, due to the personal failure to understand by cherrypicking believed refutations. Sure, follow fads like that if you want, but you're only letting everyone else know you're a fool.

      I mean, if your IQ is even higher than mine, I'd expect you to have had the initiative to have known that it's a myth. Let's just say I doubt your statement there.

      There is a mostly unresearched communication gap, though, if you're interested. Nobody cares to do further research on it, last I knew, though I suspect it is a primary driving force behind the problems geniuses and "gifted children" or "gifted adults" have. There's not much research on those either, since easily diagnosed ones (comparatively) like mental illness are lower.

      Even so, higher mental illness rates is not among them. Just a lot of dissatisfaction in life if they're caught living one that does not reward intellectual achievement, or if they don't innately get off on socializing.

    It correlates but not to the extent of a vast majority. Somewhere around half are disordered, probably less. And at that point, if you're above 145, it's likely a very easy feat to convince yourself you are disordered. Intelligent people can logically rail themselves into a corner with ease, because intelligent people often think that they are right and along with that mode of thinking comes every excuse and alternative route they can take to validate their righteousness.

    IQ means you have a more sensitive memory and I believe that in an intelligent person the connections between neurons are just naturally stronger or there is less stimulation required to get them to form a connection. This means they are more sensitive to negative events in their childhood. You may have to punish a moronic child 20 times before it stops doing something but if you yell at a kid with high IQ once it will never do the thing you yelled at it for again and will develop fears and anxiety

    I think the prevalence of mental illness here is significantly higher than average. You know, there is a correlation between intelligence and mental illness -- but that correlation is negative. Par for the course in fact, since intelligence is positively correlated with almost any good life outcome (even some that are completely counterintuitive), and negatively correlated with bad shit. Midwits gonna cope though.

    I doubt it does. Almost everyone is within a few standard deviations of average and for those people you’d expect reported mental illness to decrease as the ability to cope with with everyday mental and emotional problems increases.

    There may be a link between profound intelligence and mental illness—after all, such people’s mind are demonstrably abnormal—but I don’t think there’s any actual evidence for that. In any case, these people would be properly discarded as outliers if you were looking for a trend in the population as a whole.
