Apathy Report

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. In Parkinson's disease, apathy may be independent of depression and is likely caused by changes in the frontal lobe of the brain.
