I today found out what "anhedonia" means.... aka +chips

It is basically a psychiatric symptom for depression where one person feels no pleasure in daily life.

I think she's said that several times. More simply, as dictionary.com puts it, anhedonia is "The absence of pleasure or the ability to experience it."

It annoys me how they use the word "or" there, as though it's possible to say someone has pleasure if they aren't experiencing it. Pleasure is a word that describes experience. :rolleyes:

it's just that I keep hearing the word "anhedonia" during my lectures. I was half asleep thru the lecture and then this word that he said suddenly woke me up.

I went like ;" What? where have I heard this name before?"
