Lack of motivation, apathy, lack of pleasure.
It sounds like depression to me but I’m only an expert due to experience, not due to certification.
If you are schizophrenic , must be negative symptoms, depression should be more like negative thoughts, hopeless, sadness, low self steem, even suicide thoughts; as well apathy and low motivation.

My therapist said it might be depression but I don’t feel sad.
People with clinical depression don’t necessarily feel sad.

Its very hard to tell between negative symptoms of sz and depression. Only a pdoc can do that - if anyone can, because even they get confused. My symptoms were like that and I asked her whats the difference and she said its hard to tell but if I cope on antipsychotics alone it is most likely negative symptoms of sz and if I dont and she give me an antidepressant then its depression on top of the sz. Very tricky!
