Intelligence Helps Fight Mental Illnesses

I don't often find my gut hunches getting scientific backing, but here are some eggheads from Cambridge Uni. getting my back. I've long believed that people of high intelligence--in the raw IQ sense--do better over time with mental illnesses than less intellectually gifted sorts. These researchers don't pretend to know why, so let me help them out: people who start from a solid intellectual baseline before developing mental disorders have something to strive for. You'd be amazed how having a few powerful, animating life goals can get you through the worst of shit. I am not joking.
