Amotivational syndrome

Amotivational syndrome is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by cognitive and emotional states such as detachment, blunted emotions and drives, deficits in executive functions like working memory and attention, disinterest, passivity, apathy, and a general lack of motivation. It is divided into two subtypes: marijuana amotivational syndrome (or cannabis-induced amotivational syndrome), caused by usage or dependency on that substance and is primarily associated with the long-term effects of cannabis use, and SSRI-induced amotivational syndrome (or SSRI-induced apathy), caused by the intake of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
