Hidden Link Between Anxiety and Intelligence

If you're struggling with intense anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, scary intrusive thoughts, depersonalization, and derealization, you probably ask yourself, "Why do I feel like my mind is working against me?" or "Why can't I just enjoy life like everyone else?"

But you must have heard that very smart people often struggle with anxiety – it's a common topic on social media. So maybe it's time to ask yourself, "Is this happening because I'm too smart?"

Just kidding, of course.

But there is some truth to it – actually, there is a link between intelligence and anxiety. Intelligent people often overthink and come up with the worst-case scenarios, which can definitely lead to anxiety.

But I have good news: your high IQ isn't the problem. And that’s exactly what I'm talking about in this episode.
