10 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms
Symptom #6: Disinterest
Some people who suffer from PTSD develop some serious disinterest in activities that they were interested in previously. They may eschew old hobbies and activities and simply spend their time doing nothing, or they may develop new hobbies that are less enjoyable.
Some people also lose interest in their future. They may let go of aspirations that they have held onto for most of their lives, or they may lose interest in developing a family or pursuing romantic partners. Many people with PTSD believe that they will never be able to overcome their issue so they see no purpose or reason to pursue a good lifestyle. It is important to notice that this symptom is also quite common in patients dealing with depression, so it is crucial for a doctor to evaluate if the patient is also suffering from depression or not.
