"Ok, so you are describing anhedonia as if it were a defect of perception, like color blindness. You can experience the full range of negative emotions, but not the positive ones. And you are hopeful that this defect is based in and remediable by chemical processes"
what do you mean by this statement ??
are you saying that my expierience of my emotions and what is felt is contingient on my perception of them ???
like if i am happy i can change that emotion with a mere perception ???Anhedonia definition is , inability to expierience pleasure ... the positve feelings of our wonderful range of emotions is closely linked to our ability to expierience pleasure ..
if anhedoina meant the inability to expierience pleasure as well as the negitive emotions , it should be stated as such..
Endorphins are directly related to this .. and as far as i know there is nothing on this planet that enhances these except noxious addictive chemicals .. so basically i am screwed .. thanks , laura
