> As a side note, "talented/gifted" is usually considered synonymous with high intelligence. Yet, I bet that it is as strongly correlated with dedication (going to the levels of passion or obsession) and sensitivity. It might happen that it is not IQ that matters in terms of gifted people being depressed.
I don't think this works. If you look at the strengths/weaknesses chart, there's no way that just passion or obsession matches the strengths or comes with the weaknesses.

- jgilias 5y agoI think the parent comment doesn't say that 'giftedness' is just passion, rather that out of the two axis that would make someone gifted (smart, dedicated), it's the second one that carries a higher risk in getting depressed.
- stared 5y agoI am not saying it is just "passion". There are even more possibly correlated factors - e.g. ADHD, bipolar, OCD, autism, schizophrenia, etc. From "The Mad Genius Mystery": https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/articles/201707/the-mad-genius-mystery https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/articles/201707/the-mad...: > The fine line between genius and insanity on the interplay of autistic and psychotic tendencies among some mathematicians: Nash, Gödel, Newton and foremost: Alexander Grothendieck.
