For me it is mostly a physical thing in that I have no energy or motivation and want to sleep all the time. But there is also the no interest in things, not caring, don't want to be around people. Feeling wise I am numb but I do feel shame about it. It is a mixed bag.
At this point after so much therapy and support groups etc I think it is very biological for me. Maybe it is possible to get at the core cause chemically but they are a long way from it. The good news is things like therapy, group support, meditation, exercise, purpose, etc do change brain chemistry.
