What a difficult position to be in. I'm having trouble understanding why the psychiatrist, at least, doesn't understand that you can be both a genius, and disabled. Those are not mutually exclusive. My therapist actually made a point of discussing this with me... frequently. Intelligence is not really related to emotional health.

In an ideal world, I'd like to see your doctors get behind you and advocate for you. They should focus on the disability, not your intelligence.

But, I realize the world is far from ideal, unfortunately.

Have you talked at all to your psychiatrist about this? Or, do you have another therapist-type care provider? Have you asked them, bluntly, how your IQ interacts with your issues/illness/disability? I'm wondering if they get it?

And, honestly... it makes me mad for you. I don't know what your specific issues are, but I can't imagine telling someone with a panic disorder, for example, that they're "too smart" to suffer from that. How about major depression? "You're a genius, you're not allowed to be depressed!". I find it really upsetting the more I think about, and I'm sorry that you're having to try to work around it. It's a shameful attitude for doctors to have.
