In reply to Best med for anhedonia, lack of motivation, SCT?, posted by former poster on June 12, 2010, at 4:15:35
Dr. Bob,
I've seen post after post of people complaining of ahedonia, and/or lack of motivation, who can't find relief. Many don't feel "depressed"....or have felt worse after taking SSRIs...I've seen similar concerns on all the other mental health forums.
What is the opinion of mental health clinicians for this specific scenerio? Are these usually symptoms a type of depression, axis 2 traits, medical problems...all, some, none?
It seems like some people spend years going from med to med to find relief and just don't get there....as if there is a subset of people where this trait is their primary symptom who end up posting on the internet because doctors have been unable to help.
There are posts after posts on this forum, referencing lack of relief from amotivation, ahedonia, what is your general opinion?
