Well capacity for reward, meaning how much reward your brain is capable of receiving in return for doing certain things, is dictated by norepinephrine and dopamine i believe. It's much more complex than just the levels of those too neurotransmitters, but the inability to experience pleasure, i think it's called anhedonia, look it up, is resolved by using certain antidepressants and other drugs in particular. Hope this helps, and hope you feel better, you sound like you're real down on your luck dude.
