Is Disinterestedness A Symptom?

[pourrat]

When i was a teenager, i used to be very involved in all those political and cultural happenings, i used to know a lot about current events, but now i don't give a damn. i fear i'm becoming lame and unworthy. i do like nature and animals, i play music a little, i read and write a little and i appreciate talking to my friends and my family, but mostly about past or timeless or useless things and when they start discussing some politician/details of someone's life/last album of a band or their concert, i can't say much and i don't see the point of it. what is it? i mean, i must be active and fussy for i'm only 21 y.o.

I thought you were 70 or 80. Isn't 21 a little early to look back wistfully on your teenage years?

A symptom of what?

[lcg]

a lack of interest or pleasure (whee thee was some previously) is a symptom of depression, called anhedonia. however, to get a diagnosis, you also have to have other specific symptoms for at least two weeks consecutively. you don't sound or describe being depressed.....just a normal adolescent/adult whose tastes are changing, which is quite normal for your age.

sounds more like changing interests to me; that's normal.
