I think that question implies the misunderstanding of depression being sad or caused by a bad conclusion that’s been reached. Being depressed is a symptom of a chemical underdose of most commonly dopamine and seratonin, which robs synapses of signal integrity. The reason SSRI’s both work and take a while to improve the cycle of depression is that they “inhibit” the “reuptake” of these chemicals, resulting in more abundance and better signal transmission between neurons.
That all being said, no stress because too stupid may mean people who are depressed won’t know it unless they have a severe case. I imagine getting hurt is still pretty stressful for most stupid people though, so don’t bet on it.

Ignorance is bliss I suppose.
Depends on if you define “stupid” as being “unintelligent” but in my personal life I’ve noticed a bellcurve where the people most optimistic about life to be the dumbest and the smartest.

I don’t consider myself an incredibly intelligent person but what I’ve noticed is that the ones on the lower end of the scale don’t understand the consequences of a bad situation and the truly intelligent ones understand the best way to deal with issues is optimistic/realistic. Very situational.
