Close, conquering depression raises your IQ. If you take the test during your depression you're guaranteed to score lower (lower energy levels, lower alertness, lower focus, lower motivation). But if you come out of it, it usually has caused deep reflection and insight into cause and effect (ie patterns), and returning to optimal alertness and motivation plus the now strengthened habit of pattern recognition will mean a higher score.
This is why certain meditations will also raise IQ significantly, but /sci/ isn't ready for that topic quite yet.
