Just six days to reach 20, when I were 18 my mother thought that I am crazy, really, but the doctor said that I'm just genius. He told me my mental age is something between 40 and 50 and/or more. At that age it means my IQ is between 222 and 277 and more. I suffer from this understanding what that nobody can understand and acting crazy at what others can easily handle and solve. My personality type is INTP, and I'm almost a dead body. My father, he is addict, around 30 years, I had never had a father! And my mother, she were never with me also. I had no friends, my mother says that when I was a kid I was alone too and I never played with kids at my age. I have suicidal thoughts, major depression, some signs of schizophrenia. Drinking alcohol, I smoke. I really don't know what to do with my life, I just think its going wrong... now I'm a student of structural engineering. I wanted to study physics in university... I don't know, really... if you want to say that follow what you like, better don't. There are many things that I like and I have passion for and I can handle... I'm just crazy saying these things I just wanted an ear to hear what I say, I was so depressed you know. Sorry for taking your time.

What are you looking for here? Emotional support, an ear to listen to you, advice?

If you are suicidal, depressed, have you sought medical treatment? There are some "wonderous" drugs out there.

What do you mean by acting crazy?

Tell us more about yourself -

Sorry, I will disagree, mental age, being mental age of someone 30 has little to do with IQ, IQ is just that and is based on other factors, maturity levels may be considered by age.

With that said, so if you know you need help, what are you doing to get it ?

IQ = (mental age / real age) * 100

Not really:
Intelligence quotient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient

An intelligence quotient, or IQ, is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests designed to assess intelligence. The term "IQ," from the German Intelligenz-Quotient, was devised by the German psychologist William Stern in 1912 as a proposed method of scoring children's intelligence tests such as those developed by Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon in the early 20th century.[1] Lewis Terman accepted that form of scoring, expressing a score as a quotient of "mental age" and "chronological age," for his revision of the Binet-Simon test,[1] the first version of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_age

Originally, the differences between mental age and chronological age were used to compute the intelligence quotient, or IQ. This was computed using the ratio method, with the following formula: mental age/chronological age * 100 = IQ. No matter what the child's chronological age, if the mental age is the same as the chronological age, then the IQ will equal 100. An IQ of 100 thus indicates a child of average intellectual development. For a gifted child, the mental age is above the chronological age, and the IQ is higher than 100; for a retarded child, the mental age is below the chronological age, and the IQ is below 100

So... we have a 20 year old that has all the answers to everything.

Have any deep conversations with Stephen Hawking recently... sort out the answers all the Physicists have been searching for since the dawn of man? Might save some time.



Per Stephen Hawking - Hawking was asked about his IQ in a 2004 newspaper interview, and replied, "I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers."

But seriously... work with a mental health specialist, they will help you with your issues and it WILL help. It may take some time... but the sooner you start the sooner you will get the help and the results you need.

I fail to see the relationship between IQ, personality type and your expressed concerns. First, Jung's writings on personality types (and subsequent Myers-Briggs test) were derived from psychodynamic theory prevalent at that time. Makes for interesting reading and each of us can even find brief reflections of ourselves in the descriptors. But such artificial theoretical constructs and reductionistic theories fall far short of defining or even broadly categorizing human behavior. Human behavioral variability cannot be reduced to 16, 1600 or even 16000 categories. The clinical (personal therapeutic) value is zero.

Your description of “suicidal thoughts, major depression, some signs of schizophrenia. drinking alcohol, i smoke. i really don't know what to do with my life, i just think its going wrong...” cannot be explained by either characteristic. Hopefully your doctor didn't imply that “genius” and “crazy” are synonymous terms or that the former somehow explains the latter. Neither of these phenomena are predictive of psychopathology.

On the other hand the array of complaints that you outlined do show linkage one to another and are commonly associated. I would suggest revisiting these issues with an experienced and qualified mental health practitioner*. You are not doomed to a life of depression, suicidal thoughts and loneliness because you may possess a superior intellect or unique personality.

With appropriate intervention > diagnosis*, effective treatment is readily available. It would be to your advantage to set aside the obscure rationalizations for your discomfort and get to the business of correcting the problems.

*these terms do no necessarily mean psychiatry. Rather, one who is trained in, and experienced with, mood disorders. Seldom would primary care (general) practice physicians be qualified.
