I think Slavoj Zizek said that. I am not sure about it. Are intelligent people really more likely to be depressed or unhappy? I am not sure. Maybe they can better articulate which hell they are going through. Their descriptions are more sophisticated and accurate.
I have met several people who described similar psychosomatic pain as in my case when I talked with them. But in contrast to me they could not articulate it very well. They were only vague and I had to ask them to be more precisely. I would not say they suffered less than me. Though sometimes my thoughts were racing and my precise analysis of my behavior fucked me up extremely hard. I have met some idiots in psychiatry who coped way different to me. They were pretty ignorant and had way less self-doubt. Being self-aware can sometimes be extremely stressful and painful. Maybe people with low IQ can fade that out.
Though maybe one should make the differentiation between being intelligent and being thoughtful. I think I sometimes confuse that. I am for sure very thoughtful and deep but I am not sure how smart I really am.
I absolutely don't think the pain of people with low IQ was negclectable. Those people also can endure horrible pain.
