Negative symptoms or depression?

Health and Recovery
1

I am waiting to see my psychiatrist but I’m going away next week so it will be a couple of weeks before I can see her regarding some medication possibly an anti depressant.

I am not crying nor do I feel depressed I feel very flat and un emotional everything is very dull. I have zero motivation and barely eat. I can’t concentrate on anything so much of my time is sleeping and just sitting staring into space.

Any of you get this and is it depression or negative symptoms what do you think and possible treatment for it.

This is my default state, yeah. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the cause is :confused:

I have similar symptoms, and I’m on an anti-depressant. I think it’s the negative symptoms that are causing this, but the ADs do give me some energy.

I have negatives but I don’t feel sad. If you don’t feel sad it’s negatives

The anhedonia you get from sz and the anhedonia you get from depression are hard to separate. I don’t know how to differentiate. The best advice I have is keep trying different anti-depressants until you feel better. Sorry that’s probably not what you wanted to hear.

I’ve had one doctor say that, and another doctor totally disagree.
