Impact of Narcissistic Abuse: Anhedonia

Anhedonia refers to the inability to experience pleasure in activities and experiences that would be considered to be enjoyable for most people. There’s also a difficulty finding pleasure, finding motivation or feeling an anticipation even towards things they once enjoyed, or events most other people would look forward to.

More than feeling bored with things from time to time, it can be a complex and multifaceted symptom often associated with depression and its presence can vary in intensity and duration from person to person.

This video looks at some of the links between exposure to long term narcissistic abuse and anhedonia.
