Serious (but mostly treatable) mental illness has been found to be quite common among the very high IQ ( > 3 s.d.). Also, you'll notice that many generally anxious people are considered intelligent and introspective so there may be something to it.

In my opinion, geniuses are just gifted overachievers with obsessive-compulsive tendencies: they don't know when to stop ;-)
