In my own case, I do not think depression or seeming laziness are the only possibilities behind my lack of motivation. Motivation is dependent upon some kind of "carrot on a stick" or whatever such as hope or promise of something new or better or whatever, and I would say neither depression nor laziness is the problem if there is no valid reason for action.
