Apathy. "It's Too Hard..."

"It's just too hard..."

"Apathy is an abnormal emotional state that is characterized by indifference to things which others find interesting, moving or exciting, and diminished motivation to perform regular daily activities. Apathy is common in people with celiac disease and appears long before the other symptoms of the disease."  (GFW Health Guide. Apathy.)

Unlike symptoms that cause overt pain and suffering, apathy is insidious. It affects both children and adults. It cannot be seen and often goes unrecognized for weeks, months or years. It affects the mind, so doctors cannot see it. Careers, relationships and lives suffer unless apathy is recognized and the underlying causes are fixed.

In the case of celiac disease, apathy results from biochemical alterations due to nutrient deficiencies. These alterations impair normal brain function.
