Do you feel nonchalant as life passes you by? Apathy, which refers to a lack of interest or motivation, can prevent you from realizing your purpose, creating meaningful relationships, and even supporting your own well-being.

Whether you are located in downtown Portland, the suburbs of Portland, other nearby places such as Lawrence, Methuen, or anywhere else in Maine, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

Apathy Symptoms

If you’re not sure whether you’d like to seek therapy for apathy, you’re not alone. It can be challenging to decide when it’s time, especially since many of us feel apathy about specific things from time to time.

Here are some concerning symptoms of apathy:

• You don’t care about your own problems.
• You aren’t interested in completing basic self-care processes, such as eating or bathing.
• You don’t feel anything when bad things are happening around you.
• You don't care about your future or what happens to you.

It’s important to familiarize yourself with the causes of apathy, because it can be caused by some potentially dangerous conditions. Apathy is regularly seen in people with mental conditions like depression and schizophrenia, as well as brain injuries and diseases like Parkinson’s disease and Huntington's disease. It is important that you consult a medical professional if you suspect an injury or illness is causing your apathy.
