Well done blueberry you are right on the nose!! you explained my situation to a t, some psychiatrist are aware of this problem and I think soooo many people are affected many will be branded into different categories, some will be branded retarded depressives, some will be branded treatment resistant and some will be said to have learned helplessness, the truth is this is ssri induced anhedonia!!!!! NE AND DA are the problem, and without treatment I think it is difficult to reverse, the best bet is to get on an NRI long term and spit the ssri in the bin, I don't see what benefit continuing with ssri's will bring if you develop ssri apathy, it will never improve, psychiatry really needs some new drugs for the 30% who ssri's turn into apathetic zombs.It seems for some people including myself ssri's can reduce ones chance of recovering from depression as they take every bit of pleasure out of life and make the point of life very hard to see. But they may reduce your anxiety, in my book its a very horizontal move and even counterproductive, a depressed person needs to be able to enjoy life and feel confident, this may be controversial but, I don't care ssri's have ruined too many lives, if you have experienced apathy you will understand how awful an existence it is. GET BETTER DITCH THE SSRI, GET SOMETHING THAT WORKS!!
