Intelligent people are not "more likely to be mentally ill"

[KYS RETARD COPERS]

Let's clear some things up: Everyone is mentally ill, and mental illness expresses itself differently at different intelligence levels

Why are high IQ (IQ =/= intelligence but its a common proxy) people stereotyped as more mentally ill?

The answer is because what is common (average IQ) is seen as normal (even tho common =/= normal), and what is seen as normal is not seen as mentally ill.

Remember, things like "depression", "autism", "PTSD" etc are diagnoses. Under the medical paradigm, diagnoses warrant treatment, designed to make the patient fit in with average people.

true normality is completely relevant to the type of individual you are and how it expresses itself given your set of characteristics,

regardless, it seems at one point you will be forced to make a hasty generalization, as even classifying someone under the broad branch of "intelligent people", will warrant you make some concessions given how you expect that person to act.
