Which of the following is NOT a symptom of anhedonia?

Anhedonia is a core symptom of major depressive disorder and is characterized by the diminished ability to experience pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. This includes both social interactions and personal interests or hobbies.

Finding pleasure in social interactions is contrary to the essence of anhedonia, which is marked by a lack of interest or inability to gain satisfaction from typically enjoyable experiences. In contrast, enjoying hobbies and interests, feeling general disinterest in activities, and having the inability to feel pleasure from usual activities all reflect the characteristics of anhedonia. Therefore, identifying finding pleasure in social interactions as not a symptom aligns with the nature of anhedonia, as individuals experiencing this condition would struggle to enjoy those experiences that previously brought them joy.
