>Yes, Scott, I too would suspect that to the extent that antidepressant medications might decrease concern for one's own well-being that the apathy and amotivation that some antidepressant users report would play a role in this. There most definitely seem to be some individual differences in the ways that patients with depression and other disorders are affected by antidepressant medications, and even though I'd naturally expect the medications to increase concern for one's own well-being given that decreased attention to well-being could be a sign of depression, I'm not discounting the possibility that some who take antidepressant medications might show less concern for their well-being while on the medications. I'm just wondering if there is any relationship between the use of antidepressant medications and concern for one's well-being that's been demonstrated scientifically.
