SSRIs are used to treat anxiety as well as depression......They are not exclusively used as anti depressants...
Same goes for Atypicals....They are also used as anti anxiety meds in lower doses...
Oh and by the way your lack of motivation is a symptom of depression....Feeling like everything seems pointless is a classic depressive symptom...
Anxiety, depression and DP all go hand in hand and we all experience each of them at different levels....Its an individual thing as to what symptoms are more dominant...
If you have exhausted all other avenues an SSRI is definitely worth a shot....As are Atypicals....Its actually very common to be prescribed Abilify along with and SSRI to treat a bunch of different conditions such as depression and anxiety...
Mental health meds often have other uses besides their primary labelled use...
