Apathy and anhedonia

Hi ,
I’m a 26 year old student from wales . I have been hearing voices since I was 23 . They are rude insulting nasty derogatory sleazy and spiteful .
In the last 3 months I have also felt this intense itchy discomfort in my scalp on both sides of my head . It’s a horrible feeling that stops me feeling pleasure from bathing massage or sex. Because of this lack of pleasure in sex I haven’t had sex in over a year and haven’t had a boyfriend
I also feel this intense apathy and numbness . I am much more self absorbed and selfish than I was because I feel so numb and unable to feel empathy .
How do I treat these negative symptoms of schizophrenia? The apathy and anhedonia

maybe rexulti, abilify, and low dose stimulant meds. you can also try to see with your pdoc the possibility of transcranial magnetic stimulation

they should improve just a little, as there is probably still nothing that treats these symptoms enough

That doesn’t sound like a symptom of schizophrenia. I’d ask your GP about it.

Also it could be a side effect of any meds you’re taking.

Hi
Thanks for the advice . I’m going to the gp about the itchy achy discomfort in my scalp and I’m also having an mri scan to see if there is any growth or structural issue with my brain

Petting an affectionate cat will help return some of the feeling in you. The feeling will spread from your hands to other parts of the body.
