What Causes Depression And Lack Of Motivation?
I lost my husband last year, I have been experiencing some depression. I am currently taking Zoloft, however, I cannot feel a great improvement and wonder if I should just discontinue this treatment and try another medication. I will admit that I quit taking the medication once in the past, because my emotions felt flat. My main problem is lack of motivation and following through with plans on my days off. What do you suggest.

Hi Dear,
depression may result from death of your loved one. and might you get not proper support from family or friends or you may attached very deeply to your husband.
and also might you left medication in past and so it might possible relapse of depression.
lack of motivation is one of the symptom of depression and so when depression clears of lack of motivation also goes away.
if you are not having benefit with zoloft there are many other medication which helps you so discuss with your treating doctor about SNRI SSRI NASA group of medication.
Thank you
