Specializes in Pediatrics

Equal opportunity : Emotional disorders occur across the entire intellect spectrum. Some seem to cluster among the more intelligent (hard to define what that means), such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. But defining those patients' intellect is difficult or specious at best.

Yes and no: If u meant iq level than no , but if u meant in general the answer is yes , since if u r depressed u can't focus and u can't concentrate , and if u r manic u can have racing thoughts and u can't focus either. Therefore it is estimated that only 36, 5 percent of patients with this diagnoses can hold a full time job.
