So who are you and on what grounds have you formed this opinion?
If only things were that simple!It is just the creation of our own mind.
I've often thought that people who 'think too much' can be prone to depression. These 'thinking' people tend to be of the intelligent sort!!! I don't think you need to bother yourself with this thread Mcdermot!

Mcdermot is clearly another one of this forums wind up merchants.
I used to suffer from twice weekly migraines and the neurologist once said that they are more prevalent amongst people of higher intelligence. I also used to suffer from SAD so does that mean that I'm super intelligent and if so, because I am much better on both counts does that mean that I'm now getting stupider....
but seriously, depression is a much misunderstood and debilitating illness with many possible root causes and its frustrating to read ill-informed opinions that belittle it.

Depression.....it's real, it happens to anyone, fight it, seek help, talk to friends, never give in to it, and if you've ever stood on a bridge willing to end it all, get down and give yourself another chance, your worth it.
Ooh I get migraines and SAD...does that mean I too am Supercalifragilisticexpialintelligentidocious? X
Probably
You're certainly not wrong there eavesy187 - looks like 'he' appeared for the first time yesterday morning with 4, shall we say, 'odd' posts, including the offensive one on here.
Steve's right it can happen to anyone. I'm just coming through a pretty serious bout myself and been riddled with anxiety along with it. Being a psychiatric nurse I found it very hard to deal with and very frustrating that I couldn't sort myself out. Things were on the up until I had a head on crash today with my wife and baby in the car. We're ok but I'm back to being low, anxious and feeling all that comes along with it. This certainly ain't a matter for people to joke about, and it's a shame that a forumites can't show others respect when it comes to this horrible illness that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
People may remember my posts from earlier in the forum which came from the view of a professional, now I have the view from the other side. The one good thing that comes from this is I have a a true understanding of the other side, and that will hopefully enable me to help others better than I could before.
