9. Disinterest in Favorite Activities
Everyone has something they like to do — some activity that makes them happy. Living with the discomforts of COPD means you may not be up to it all the time, but if you lose all interest in the things you used to enjoy, there may be a deeper problem.
When depression interferes with your mind and personality, you will tend to become apathetic. Activities and events no longer inspire much interest or disdain; you don’t feel strongly in any way and you stop reacting. In some cases, your lack of focus or the burden of sadness keeps you from participating.
