I don’t really understand the concept of negative symptoms.
From my personal experience, negative symptoms equals medication side effects of aripoprazole

“Avolition” is a term used to describe the lack of motivation or ability to do tasks or activities that have an end goal , such as paying bills or attending a school function. Avolition occurs most commonly in schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder.
More and more I’m believing that ‘negative’ symptoms are attributed to AP use and not from disease.
Risperdal as an example zaps my energy, leaving me with less motivation.
It also blocks dopamine which diminishes the amount of pleasure and joy I could feel.
It’s the meds.
