> Anhedonia that causes depression (rather than depression that causes anhedonia) is extremely rare, I think, and that's why it has not been given its own standalone category as a disorder. I've been suffering from it for two years now.
Sorry to welcome you to the club. :-(
>I had to change majors because I no longer feel interest in anything except researching the internet trying to find a cure for anhedonia. Thus I'm working towards doing medical research on this. If I make it there in 5 or so years, maybe you and a few others here can be my first case studies.
Certainly! Currently, I'm being treated by bupropion and Abilify which, respectively, diminish the resulting depression and lethargy. They have no effect on my anhedonia.
