Apathy
Apathy is a
psychological term for a state of indifference — where an individual is unresponsive or "indifferent" to aspects of emotional, social, or physical life. Clinical apathy is considered to be at an elevated level, while a moderate level might be considered
depression, and an extreme level could be diagnosed as a
dissociative disorder. The physical aspect of apathy associated with physical deterioration,
muscle loss, and lack of
energy is called
lethargy — which has many
pathological causes as well.
