as has been said wheither it's good or bad is subjective, it depends upon how it effects you personally or your relationships with others perhaps

That sounds like your GP isn't very understanding. I sometimes get rage, like your extreme emotions. Just like you, I don't get "normal" emotional experiences.

Yeah I put my lack of emotions down to Asperger's too. Antipsychotic medications can cause the "neuroleptic-induced deficit syndrome", which can actually reduce your emotional capacity.

What is feeling "empty" like? I don't feel empty, I just feel nothing.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
