<bot>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Many of the symptoms that you have described like lack of motivation, disinterest, low mood, etc. are indicative of a depressive disorder. However, a detailed history and psychological assessment is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Since these symptoms are putting you through a lot of distress, it is important that you seek professional help. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication and psychotherapy, which will help you overcome your problems. So, please consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment. Wish you all the best.
