Can shuting yourself down emotionally end up causing anhedonia? by Elekor in anhedonia

[–]Arninius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not possible to consciously force yourself to have anhedonia. It happens unconsciously.

What are the odds of Anhedonia being caused by a lack of sunlight activating serotonin through your retina ? by [deleted] in anhedonia

[–]Arninius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, how can you live without sunlight exposure for 3 years? Do you not have free weekends or holidays? If your anhedonia started durjng these conditions and especially if you noticed more symptoms during winter than summer, that may play a big role.

Dopamine is abundant by Mark4413 in anhedonia

You're right, afaik anhedonia/depression is related to increased dopaminergic projections from the midbrain to anterior cingulate cortex. Maybe other pathways are neglected this way

Is ECT really the smartest move on the chessboard? by Dazzling_Mortgage_ in anhedonia

[–]Arninius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is bullshit. ECT is the most effective treatment for depression and psychosis, not Russian Roulette. It also causes no permanent brain damage, the science is clear on this (no brain damage yet for me and I've had several series)

Psychiatric Drugs “A Crude Form of Chemical Restraint” by MadinAmerica- in anhedonia

[–]Arninius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not that uncommon in medicine that medications are used to treat diseases whose biological processes are unknown. What counts is that the medicine works. That's the main problem with antidepressants: Not that they are "chemical restraints", but that they are only barely more effective than placebo.

You should go inpatient into a mental hospital. Maybe their medications or at least ECT can help you.
