New Prime Minister, new old dramas ! Among the debates that are not clear how they started, the Gerta - Egli clash and, among other things, a statement by the latter stood out.

"I want to say two words to this lady, that when a person goes through a panic attack and is able to manage a panic attack, that you have not tried it and will never try it with the minds you have, when you try it and go through this, I have a fly in your face. - Egli said before transforming into Super Saiyan.

Let's clarify this statement.

According to a 2018 study , people with high IQs may be more prone to brain or body reactions. In other words, having a higher IQ may affect the functioning of the central nervous system, which is also linked to stress and depression, among other things.

Note: IQ - Intelligence Quotient is determined by a set of standardized tests or subtests designed to assess human intelligence.

But a 2022 study published in European Psychiatry has debunked the theory that people with high IQs have more mental health disorders. Researchers found that people with high intelligence did not have higher rates of depression. In fact, they had less anxiety, post-traumatic stress, neurotic tendencies, and trauma than those with lower intelligence.

Another 2022 study published in the National Library of Medicine found that individuals with high intelligence do not have more mental health disorders than the average population. High intelligence even appears to be a protective factor for general anxiety and post-traumatic stress. It is not for nothing that researchers point out that intelligence is the ability to learn, reason, and solve problems, be they mental problems.

So, mental health illnesses and intelligence do not have a cause-and-effect relationship. Someone with a low, average, or high IQ can have depression or other illnesses, because there are many risk factors for mental disorders, including trauma, chronic illness, genes, lifestyle, etc.

Now we are clear!
