I remember reading that slightly depressed people tend to have a more accurate world view.

Perhaps there is something to the saying ignorance is bliss.

I might be misunderstanding, but I wouldn't call "un-depressed" people ignorant.

I also think depressed people would regress to the average if they weren't depressed. It's not a sustainable way to think harder and open your eyes to the world around you.
