memory does not equal intelligence, however if you really want, there are effective systems out there that help you memorize numbers and facts

what really makes someone intelligent is how quickly they can learn

as for the depression, pretty much everyone has it, I think the best thing to do is to keep yourself busy, I've noticed I've been the most depressed when I've had the most free time
The one method that I know of is: if you meet a guy name Bill you are supposed to come up with images of B-I-L-L. B as a buffalo sitting on icecream and two leopards (the idea is that the more outlandish, the more you will remember it).

I have tried this very weird and exhausting method but it hasn't been very effective.

I am interested in other ideas!
