Negative symptoms and severe depression?

I dont feel sad at all. but I have negative symptoms. so I guess it’s negative and not depression. who knows?

If you’re not sad or weepy or feeling hopeless, I would assume it’s not depression.

Bipolar depressions are often not accompanied by feelings of sadness.

For me, depression involves thought patterns that negative symptoms don’t. Like hopelessness and guilt and being very judgmental towards myself.
