If you accept that hypothesis then you'd also necessarily have to accept the hypothesis that intelligent people are more likely to have been diagnosed with all sorts of mental disorders because the disorders are more accurately diagnosed in them.

But, the hypothesis that that GAD is more accurately diagnosed as intelligence increases doesn't require the expansion that all (or even a single other) mental disorder be more accurately diagnosed.
Perhaps it'd be better to say "you'd be opening yourself to the hypothesis", which would be more likely to be true. I still don't think the OP's alternative hypothesis is broad enough to support this claim, but it'd be less false on its face.
