The impaired ability to desire anything or sustain a desire for anything is a classic depression symptom. Regrettably, too many therapists either don't appreciate that or assume the simple "realizations" they offer are sufficient for 80% of the people they see.

Meds might help, but in my case the primary effect of the meds is to make me not care I don't care.

Ideally, it would be great if you could find a psychologist/therapist with extensive experience dealing with chronic depression.
