If intelligence alone was sufficient to reduce depression and anxiety, there would be no smart, depressed and anxious people. The first helpful thing to know, if you have symptoms or struggle, you're not broken or lacking. It is not the lack of fear that is the measure of the Lion's courage, but his ability to do what must be done even though he is afraid. It is the same with anxiety, cope is not the absence of anxiety, but the ability to function despite sometimes being concerned! Indeed, if you watch the news and you don't have concerns, I will be worried about you.
I might recommend not watching the news. Ha! My interaction style is truly eclectic, but my preferences, not in order, are Existential, REBT, Transpersonal, and Rogerian. Again, intelligence by itself is insufficient. Existentially, this is that deep dive into the soul and life, while Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Albert Ellis, is a little bit rational, a little bit emotional, and a little bit behavioral. We can work together to increase competency in one or two domains, and as confidence increases anxiety tends to decrease. Mindfulness exercises, humor, movie homework, reading homework if you want, and the dynamic interaction of talk therapy is how we start. If you want to check out Ellis from the library, I recommend 'Feeling Better, Getting Better, and Staying Better.'
Love, compassion, and understanding is what we strive for in all things. Be well.
