Is there a forum, diagnosis/DSM code or specific term for someone whose major condition is lack of the ability to feel emotions? Thanks.

Maybe try the Depression Forum?

Otherwise known as 'Alexithymia' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexithymia which happens to be a very common symptom of many different mental health issues including dissociation, PTSD, anxiety and depression, the list goes on... So, as it is a symptom of many disorders you need to pick a forum that you think suits you.

Ha, I see you may be joking. Actually there is deep truth in what you say if you are referring to yourself. What I mean is, you can define yourself as normal with perfect reasoning even though according to the psych community some symptoms may indicate lack of normality, according to a standard distribution bell-shaped curve. The key is to feel okay about one's self. I hope you enjoy Psych Central, it is fun...

Common symptom of depression but maybe also other things.

I thought this for most of my life.

Now I know different, but still working on shrinking my critic (among other stuff) so I can feel again.
