No.
As long as we are speculating.
People have the ability to get down, they are not immune to tragedies. It's not the intelligence itself that is the determining factor but rather the strategies and methods used to get back. These are determined by a lot of things, a few being; knowledge of how to get back, outside support, a previous positive out look on life in general, etc.
I think it does yes.
Someone who is light minded will be easier distracted by the every day things, hopping from one distraction to another not standing still to think what else is possible.
Someone who is or reaches to being intelligent often thinks outside the box from the every day life they are leading.
It is known that intelligent people sometimes come up with the most impossible questions. They are often more overloaded with "what if's".
Seeking for questions to a problem, seeking for answers, seeking for solutions and in general seeking to improve what they already possess .
Then, should they not be better able to get themselves out?
Now, the term intelligence is rather vague to determine, but no matter the perspective of the person, it will be affected by life. It's rare that a normal person think itself to depression. There's a different reason lurking behind. Something that triggered the doubt, the melancholic approach.
Ignorance is bliss. (Anyone who's been around those with IQs from 40-70 knows they are generally a pretty happy group.)
I doubt this. Where I work we have employees of various capabilities, some of them lacking in IQ. They have problems and frustrations, perhaps just a bit different than from ours. Though, perhaps different is not the correct word, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that their problems are "lighter". Not to them, though.
I think that the main problem with people with a low iq is the influences they endure in their life.
If you look at certain tribes in Africa and the Amazon ... You may find that those people aren't very developed, still they find numerous way to survive and to live a life comfortably without further worries.
Wat?
1. What makes you think they are less intelligent?
2. There is no such thing as less developed if you are referring to evolution. If you mean technology wise that doesn't make sense as it says nothing of their intelligence.
I am never depressed, because i am able to accept shit situations and then make a plan to get out.
Of course I can have my setbacks in life, but I never stay 'down' for long. Its not useful.
Being depressed for smart people is usually about not accepting the situation for what it is, and staying in fantasy land, and then the gap between those 2 is what hurts if it is pushed in your face everytime.
If you just accept the shit position that you are in (instead of denying it for yourself), you can make a real plan. If you dont accept it, you stay in fantasy land and unable to do anything about reality.
So accept reality and then say "OK I AM HERE, NOW HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS". but some people dont seem to understand that, instead they like to sooth themselves with "I am not actually in this position, my intelligence makes me sour above it automatically, it is just because the world is unfair to intelligent people like me, it is not my fault since I am so intelligent, it must be the fault of the stupid others".
Well, it is quite obvious that you have never been depressed. Depression is not an attitude, it's a chemical reaction in the brain. It's way different than feeling blue. When you are depressed, motivation is usually lost. You can't do anything because your precious neurons won't react.
They also are very prone to murder, criminality, petty crime, drug use .. and other currents of the underworld... Which induces depression in to a downward spiral. Untill they commit suicide or eliminate each other.
Not that everyone is a user or that unstable ofcourse.
And it is not for every country .. I often wonder why it is and why it is not like that for some and certain countries, hoods, neighbourhoods and what not .. Could it be that there is a diffirence between Ethnicities and their origin?
Perhaps because they are being mistreated and excluded from society? They are not guided, they are lone children.
I don't think such people represent the majority of criminals in Norway.
Maybe depressed people counteract this irrationality with logic thus seeming more intelligent?
Oh, my darling, Emotion is stronger than Logic. Logic is a branch of the Emotion Tree
Actually, it's way too simple to divide it between logic/emotion. Our experience, emotions, desires, needs all influence our logic.
Which means it's not logic at all, it's justification.
