This is most interesting and bears further investigation.
I am personally familiar with loss of listening interest due
to depression, but had not heard of medications inducing such
an effect.Jay's recommendation is a good one: perhaps exploring
hiterto ignored genres might prove efficacious. My enduring
passion continues to be classical, but when depression removes
the thumb from the mental dyke and joi-de-vivre begins flowing
sadly away, I find that I am often more receptive to simpler,
lively music than what one often encounters in the classical
realm.You might try world music as Jay suggests, or maybe
ambient, nature sounds, especially vigourous classical, such
as Vivaldi, even disco or Metallica, who knows? It is
important to keep an open mind - what has one to lose? -
and not to let friends or family who are music snobs deride
your experimenting.Best regards,
Mr Beev
