I agree.
It's hard for me because, not to sound vain, I am an intelligent person to begin with. When I start having cognitive disfunctions from the depression people think I am still intelligent. As a result I have had pdocs not believe me when I say that I am depressed. "You don't seem depressed. You seem intelligent blah, blah, blah". Sigh. It's really frustrating. *Yes*, intelligent people suffer from depression. There are so many people here on PB who are highly intelligent and still suffering.
Good article though.
