In the year 2013 I was 33 year old male and could derive pleasure… Now I can no longer derive pleasure.

When I was a kid I could play all day long now, I can’t even play for half an hour and pleasure is zero.

Is it Anhedonia only or is it depression ?

I’ve

  1. Paranoid type Schizophrenia. ( Avolition etc; )

  2. Depression or Anhedonia

  3. Insomnia

and

  1. Rest less leg syndrome.

I feel for you, my worst negative symptom was anhedonia back when I was on zyprexa. Every day was hell to me during that time I was so dysfunctional. Now I feel pleasure but its still not as good as it was before sz, I am unable to experience/comprehend experiences as I once did due to concrete thinking. I can’t have complex pleasures anymore and I can’t really get into things. I don’t have passion or emotional complexity like what I did before sz.
