What Causes Depression & Anxiety

HealthyGamerGG1:10

Transcription

So if you take every human who has depression, every human who has anxiety, what you discover is that they spend time inside their head more so than the average person who does not have depression does not have anxiety.

You guys know how people say ignorance is bliss and you know how there's like stupid people out there and the reason they're they're so happy is because they lack the intellectual capacity to have existential dread. And there's data to support this. There's a lot of data that shows that the higher your IQ is, the more likely you are to be depressed. Insight trial is a great example that shows that rapid insight, understanding the severity of your situation, correlates with suicidality.

So, there's people out there who are like dumb and happy. Part of the reason for that is because they do not internalize. They're like D. They're like kind of like bots. They're like, "Hello." Like I'm I'm envisioning like oblivion NPCs where you like walk up to them and it's like they have no internal environment, right? They're like oblivion NPCs. They just say the same thing over and over again and like and that's because they don't internalize.

If you over internalize, you are prone to depression. You are prone to anxiety.
