    Alas, I have the ‘nothing at all gives me dopamine’ ADHD. I thought it was just depression for years, but turns out it was ADHD. I struggle to see any benefits that come from my condition.

      ADHD can correlate with depression. You still need to treat the depression though. Untreated depression will indeed blind you to anything positive about anything.

        Yup, it‘s probably that. In a societal vacuum, the curiosity would exist, but the daily struggle and resulting depression overshadows it.
