I hate when mental health professionals use that sort of logic. It's extremely harmful to the patient.
I have ADHD, but my pdoc refuses to prescribe me medication for it because he thinks my IQ is "high enough to cope with the disorder".
Your ability to "cope" with a mental health condition is independent from your intelligence! I will always say that.
