Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms.  In order to diagnose loss of interest in life, we could:

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "loss of interest in life" as a symptom.  Here are two possibilities:
  • Premature Aging
  • Depression

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:
significant muscle wasting
much reduced sense of smell
regular sleep paralysis
slow reaction time
regular night terrors
great loss of muscle tone
much reduced sense of taste
attempting suicide
poor balance
angry/hostile disposition
being easily irritated

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of loss of interest in life:
Cause Probability Status
Depression 93% Confirm
Premature Aging 65% Possible
