What could cause a lack of emotions?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I lack the motivation to study. I know what I have to do and how to do it. But I do not. Even when I start, I quit easily. Even past failures are not helping me. I just feel like a stone, with no emotion or feeling towards anything.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

It is a very common problem, especially in this age. Compare your current situation to where you want to be in five years in terms of money, respect, and self-confidence if you study and if not. Then make your own decisions. Consider the consequences if you do not study hard for your career.

So, study hard. It is simply a matter of a few years. You will not have to study again for the rest of your life. I hope it helps. All the best.

Regards.
