In almost every way, psychosis is a powerfully disordered mental health way of life that is both a prime fear and an unknown condition.

Diagnostic clarity between anhedonia and persistent depressive disorder is paramount in clinical practice to ensure effective and safe treatment for patients. Anhedonia is a term used to describe the inability to experience pleasure from activities that are usually found enjoyable, such as eating, exercising, social interactions, or hobbies. It is a core symptom of various mental health disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, and other mood disorders. Individuals with anhedonia may find it difficult to feel joy or satisfaction, which can significantly impact their quality of life and daily functioning. The DSM-5 diagnosis of depression requires the presence of at least 5 symptoms over a period of 2 weeks. At least 1 of these 5 symptoms must be either: (1) depressed mood or (2) a loss of interest and pleasure.1 While anhedonia is not explicitly named, it is captured as a core symptom of depression. Anhedonia is readily recognized by clinicians and its relevance has been reinforced by psychological theories of positive and negative effect,2 evolving neuroscience,3 and clinical outcomes.4.
