Apathy is the lack of interest or motivation to do anything. It could also be a symptom of a serious mental health problem, like Parkinson s disease, and dementia which involves thinking and using emotions.
According to WebMD, apathy is not feeling much of anything. What excites you in the past does not excite you anymore. Apathy makes the person no longer feel motivated to achieve their goals.
According to research led by Professor James Rowe of the University of Cambridge, apathy offers a window of opportunity to treat dementia at its earliest stage several years before its symptoms appear.
