A while back I posted a help post about my Dad who was suffering massively after lockdowns and mainly psychologically after contracting covid in early Jan 2020, lets say almost December, the first wave. I've tried my best to do what I can from a different country, but he lost the plot completely, shaking uncontrollably, crying all the time, spent a year incapable of being left for five minutes, total destruction of an IQ 160+ registered Mensa genius. I don't really want to get too sepecific into detail about who he was out of privacy & respect, but in June he hung himself and I've been dealing with the fallout ever since. Completely vaxed although Q aware, put me on to JoeM for anons out there will understand, this was early on in the digital battlefield 2017. There is a clear and present danger to anyone high IQ that contracts covid and I'm not convinced the jabs are even worse. He was kind to people and animals and known locally as The Gentleman. To those of you lurking and pushing this Marxist vax shit, your time is up. I have no weapons, no malice, no intention to do anything violent. but I will dedicate my life to tearing you apart philosophically until your mind is as tortured as what you put my father through.
Thanks for the Info but my father didn't make it.

Sorry for your loss, anon. I'm 1/2 thinking there might be more to this, could it be possible the lockdowns and isolation caused him to break? Was he a big patriot, possibly the thought that tyrants returned suddenly broke him? Possible long existing problem that he didn't want to deal with and took an exit?
Aside from this, can any other anons corroborate this? Do you know any other high IQ people who have caught covid and lost control for the worse?
Thanks for your reply. Mensa couldn't clock him, off the scale and I'd spent my childhood in the 70's talking about black holes, dark matter, string theory etc. We've stargazed and studied. He was completely taken out, bang, gone. It doesn't make sense because he was physically and mentally incredibly fit. But bang, gone, tortured (we are only just understanding the full picture) absolutely reduced to a shivering wreck. There was a brilliant documentary I watched 15 years ago that collaborated high IQ with inablility to deal with life. Basically string theory leads to a re-wiring and high maths can cause problems. The more intelligent you are the more delicate you are. Just my experience.
Can you give some more clues to that documentary?
Was your father a man of faith?
When i was younger my IQ wasn't very high, but i spent a good deal of that time forming a solid foundation to weather any storms that might come in my life, and that foundation was God. After that i focused on building a life based on truth, which increased both my IQ/EQ. I don't depend on either, i still depend on my faith every single day, and i take pleasure in being wrong. I don't know if this is related, but i also spent many times envisioning bad things happening to me, to mentally prepare myself to deal with anything, up to, and including being tortured to death.
I feel like I wrote this myself, about myself. Amazing similarities.
Also OP, sorry about your dad. So many good people are lost to the evil in this world. He sounded like a great guy.
I've had the honor of knowing a good bunch of very high-IQ people in my life, not all registered Mensans. They are a breed of their own. So, I would add a correlation factor of academia. Now, I don't know anything about your dad's case, just giving my personal observations.
The most stable geniuses I've known had little love for or connection with academia, while the most neurotic tended to be highly ivory-tower sorts. Reading the Atlantic or New Yorker surrounded by rescued greyhounds in the city versus writing multilingual love poetry and conducting plant hybrid experiments in the country, for instance. Both would read conspiracy theories, but would take media narratives very differently. Swayed highly by perceived authority versus unswayed by much.
