If it's due to a chemical imbalance it has nothing to do with IQ.

Regardless of its source depression is treated as a chemical imbalance.

You hit the nail on the head. What better way to fix a chemical imbalance than with chemicals? The term itself implies medication is necessary .

I'm going to provide a George Carlin quote:

Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of the people are even stupider!

That's why intelligent people get depressed.

Good quote.

Anyone who possesses true intelligence would know that. We live in a world where beauty is so abundant that it often goes overlooked.

a man can feel helpless against it.

Right now i'm high so i'm just focusing on the good

I'd say only the highly introverted ones.

You have it backwards. Why would an introvert get depressed. I think they are less likely to be depressed.
