I think you are not taking into account the path to existential depression. The article describes some very specific experiences of so-called gifted people, which leads to the possibility of existential depression. It seems very unlikely that the experiences he describes are common among most people. I didn't read the article so much as "I am gifted, therefore I will be existentially depressed" but more along the lines of "I am gifted, and the effect this has on my life and experiences may cause existential depression". This article opened my eyes as to why I may have had particular experiences in my life.
