Apathy is a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern about emotional, social, spiritual, philosophical, or physical life and the world. This state of indifference or the suppression of emotions can lead to one feeling very negative or unhappy, even depressed.

It's fair to say that everyone experiences apathy at one time or another in their lives. It's the force that prevents us from finding the energy to do things, feeling enthusiastic about the things we're interested in, and just feeling totally indifferent no matter what's happening around us.

It's incredibly important when we feel apathetic for too long or in our daily lives that we seek to stop it in its tracks. If left to its own devices, apathy can morph into more serious negative frames of mind which can cause our health to decline and our relationships to suffer.
