In fact, the more successfully smart you are and perceived as intelligent, the more likely it is you need therapy deeply

Do you have a source on this claim?

I'm curious about that too.

My life experience includes environments (Physics at University level) with a significant number of exceptionally intelligent people and in my observation they weren't any more "flawed" than everybody else, just with different quirks than most people.

Granted "smart and perceived as intelligent" isn't actually the same as high IQ, but I've also worked in environments with lots of people like that (Investment banking) and again they weren't any more "flawed" than everybody else and just had different kinds of quirks than most people.

In general, one thing I did notice was that more intelligent people tend to have more "compensation layers" over their disfunctions than less intelligent people.

That said, all this is my opinion from my own life experience, so just as unsupported as the previous poster's.
