From French anhédonie (coined by Ribot, 1896), from Ancient Greek ἀν- (an-) + ἡδονή (hēdonḗ, “pleasure”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
anhedonia (usually uncountable, plural anhedonias)
- (medicine, psychiatry) The inability to feel pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable, such as exercise, hobbies, music, sexual activities or social interactions.
- 1902, William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience, Folio Society 2008, p. 123:
- Sometimes it is mere passive joylessness and dreariness, discouragement, dejection, lack of taste and zest and spring. Professor Ribot has proposed the name anhedonia to designate this condition.
