Poor sense of humor can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'worrying' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose poor sense of humor, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Stress | 95% | Confirm |
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder | 29% | Unlikely |
Paranoia | 5% | Ruled out |
Depression | 0% | Ruled out |
Do you have a good sense of humor?
Possible responses:
→ No, very little / none→ Usually not → I'd say I'm about average / don't know → Yes, better than average → Yes, over the top |
Loss of one's appreciation of the rewarding aspects of humor is a frequent and fairly specific symptom of depression.
