Overview
Anhedonia seems to be an important factor influencing prognosis of many diseases. Few studies have shown reduced positive outcome and increased rate of complication in the presence of anhedonia.
Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy
Schizophrenia
- Elevated levels of social anhedonia in patients with schizophrenia have been linked to poorer social functioning.[1][2]
- Socially anhedonic individuals perform worse on a number of neuropsychological tests than non-anhedonic participants,[3][4] and show similar physiological abnormalities seen in patients with schizophrenia.[5]
