Grip on reality

I do not actually remember where I learned about this theory (I think abnormal psychology).  Anyways, this theory states that depressed individuals actually have a more accurate view on the world and their abilities.  Non depressed individuals tend to over estimate their abilities and have a less realistic grip on reality.   I just always liked this theory because it does show that reality is individualized to every person and that things may not always be as we expect.
