The Psychiatrist

(A lone voice whispers)



Do you write

For freedom

From boredom 


Or even sympathy


Simply to defeat

Apathy


People who experience traumatic events may sometimes develop apathy syndrome.


(indifference and emotional detachment)


As a means to further protect themselves mentally and prevent further distress. 


This is normally present in survivors of tragedies. 


And it can be part of post-traumatic stress disorder. 


Caused by emotions hard press.
