"Decreased motivation to seek and experience pleasurable experiences, known as anhedonia, is a primary symptom of major depressive disorder. Anhedonia is less responsive to many antidepressants and often persists after other symptoms of depression subside."
- Worth The Effort? Not If You're Depressed, sciencedaily.com, 16 August 2009.
Seen in dysphoric or depressed people. A pervasive loss of interest in pleasurable activities.
"The hedonist became anhedonic after suffering a stroke."
From Greek hedonē, pleasure, and a-privative.
