Recently, I've noticed that most of the most psychically sensitive people I know are also prone to depression. Is a pre-disposition to depression part and parcel of the whole psychic game? If so, why?
Creative types have always been considered moody. Look at Sylvia Plath, Edgar Allen Poe, and Picasso. None of those folks were especially stable. Hemmingway shot himself. I could pull at least 100 more examples out of my hat, but I think you get the idea. What does this have to do with psychic sensitivity? Creative types tend to be more in touch with the Other--they take messages from a muse (i.e. Creative Spirit), and turn those messages into physical works of art.
In short, I propose that Creative Types are more psychically active than Non-Creative Types. If Creative Types are more prone to major mood swings (Manic-Depressive Disorder or just generic Clinical Depression), then perhaps it's a problem that all psychically sensitive folk need to be aware of.
I'm rambling in Academeze here, but that's the way my brain's putting this together. So, bear with me, and I'll get to the point.
Given:
The human brain cannot perform any action or receive any stimulus that s/he is not biologically capable of receiving.
Given:
Psychics seem to have a pre-disposition to chemical imbalances that cause Clinical Depression or Bi-Polar tendencies.
Hypothesis:
The uncharted regions of the brain are more active in Psychic sensitive, and because those regions of the brain are more active, it's far easier for the chemicals necessary for emotional stability to be thrown out of whack.
Right now I can't check this hypothesis (does anyone have a spare Electronic Impulse Imager on hand?). However, the prudent thing, in my opinion, for those who have a ear cocked to catch the rumblings of Other is to think about this and possibly take Ginkgo or some other mental stimulant (just make damn sure it's safe for long-term use--most anti-depressants are not). It might also be smart to keep an anti-depressant on hand for seasonal variations and for those curves life throws that can throw a system out of whack.

Okay, this isn't at all "scientifically" based, but more "my own experiences" based...
It may also be possible that people that are psychically sensitive are feeling the emotions of their surrounding, the people they are near, or people they care about that aren't near.
I've known many psycially sensitive people (some that don't even know that they are) that get really depressed or agitated in a particular place, but have no idea why.
Others are so sensitive to the emotions of the people near them, even when those people are actively hiding their negative feelings, that the psychically sensitive person gets upset, irritated, depressed or whatnot by association.
And I've also known psychically senstive folks that feel those same emotions for no known reason, then later find out that someone they care very much for, such as a family member or significant other, that is far away from them at the moment, was feeling that exact way at that time.
So in the end, I think in part many of the depressive or irritated, or maybe even the uneplained "highs" that psychically sensitive people feel may actually be psychic eddies or strong emotions near them or left behind in an area.
