A lack of desire to work is not an illness, but a symptom of an illness. A detailed evaluation is required to diagnose the illness and treat it. Treatment does mostly include medicines such as antidepressants and mood stablisers. But for you a few sessions of therapy will also be beneficial.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist and ask them for a multimodal approach to management - including medicines and therapy both.

Lack of motivation/ energy / pleasure in completing work as before, is one of the many symptom of depression
Anti depressants can significantly help with affective complaints as well as low will power and self esteem, however complete remission will only be achieved if you take pro active steps - start with small tasks, exercise, reading, skill development and gradually increase to rejoin your work
There’s no magic pill to completed cure mental health issues, meds only help, you need to take efforts and work open yourself as well
