A member asked:
Can you tell me if depression and anxiety affects your iq?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it doesn't: Actual iq is not affected by either depression or anxiety -- but your ability to perform on a test might suffer. For instance, it's possible to be so depressed you don't care to focus on the iq test questions, etc. Then you'd come out with a score that does not measure your true abilities.
