Can Depression be Good?

From the creator

People always talk about depression being a bad thing, but can it actually be good? If you’re one of the 264 million people worldwide who live with some form of depression, then you know what it feels like to have the disease always hang over your head like a rain cloud. Someone who has never lived with depression has never had to think too deeply about things like reaching out for support, how they talk to themselves, or not letting their emotions build until they explode. However, for someone suffering from depression, not thinking about these things can mean the difference between taming the disease or continuing to live under the weight of their depression. Despite all that, can depression in some way be seen in a positive light? Can depression help us think, feel, and see life more deeply? They do in fact, say that sometimes the more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to be depressed. Could there be a link between intelligence and depression?
