Apathy or depression?

Is it normal that almost nothing excites me? I can't tell if I'm apathetic or depressed. For example, if someone asked to go to an amusement park, I would go. If the plans got cancelled, I wouldn't care. There's just no drive in me at all. I wonder if others feel the same and if anyone has any recommendations to overcome whatever it is I am.

    same here..feel indifference towards everything and everyone...even toward myself..and its not a depression..just opposite of being excited..I think its natural...some people just have more serotonin,some just dont.

    I feel like that too. I think it's because we're both prepared for disappointment. Like you expected the trip to be canceled or just didn't expect anything at all.

    Wether is apathy or depression depends on the amount of time you are feeling this way, if over a month it is depression and it has treatment.

    that sounds like a sign of depression. it causes you to lose interest in things you used to love or just everyday things. if you feel like this is a real problem tell your family doc and see what they say. i had the same issue a few years ago and now i'm on an anti depressant and it really helps. you might be diagnosed with something which means there might be something out there to help you. you are not pathetic

      Anti depression does not work it just makes you act funny and I feel the same way everyday . Meds when your sad doesnt always fix the issue becuase poeple get sad for reasons like thier being beaten at home , they are being beaten at school , ptsd, and rape . So they need therapy just giving poeple pills doesnt always fix everything most depressed poeple need therepy not meds .

    Everyone could feel the same
    at(Some)ages I felt the same myself.

    it's normal just push yourself and try to
    seek joy in your life I'm not sure if this could
    help you,but I believe these feelings wont last for long.
