As far as I can tell, there's not significant evidence that depressed people have better observation or problem solving skills. It has been demonstrated, however, that people's IQs are lower when they're depressed. So there's that.
When I was at my lowest, I thought that I was seeing through illusions, but now, I'm not any less aware of the things that I saw then. I'm just able to cope with them better. I don't think depression has anything to do with realism.
are depressed people more likely to see through illusions in life?
