If you can find the black dot in this picture, you suffer from clinical depression. The part of your brain that produces the chemical needed for happiness is damaged, so the other parts of your brain work harder to solve problems. Most people with clinical depression are actually highly intelligent.

If you find the black dot, you may want to consult a psychologist promptly.

#totally accurate science

LOL. i can’t believe all this ~psychological fact bullshit.

I see like fourteen black dots! I must be THE MOST DEPRESSED PERSON WHO EVER LIVED.

Oh wait, never mind, I just really need to clean my computer screen.

[img: A white field with, apparently, a black dot somewhere on it]

I think I found the black dot—although, like Dorian, I could just need to clean my computer screen.

I have depression, but I also have nonverbal learning disability. NLD experts say that we often “miss the forest for the trees”—and I certainly notice random details without fitting them into a whole. It comes in handy for reading (it was easy for me to see that p, b, q, d are all different things), and…not so much for recognizing, say, buildings. If I come at a building from an unusual angle, I’ll think it’s a different building. This is just a way of processing. It doesn’t mean I’m more or less intelligent than other people.*

*I had/have several language-related skills that are commonly associated with “intelligence,” but that’s because society chooses to put those skills on a pedestal.
