Inability or diminished ability to experience pleasure (not simply "happiness") is called anhedonia. Major depressive disorder required either this or depressed mood for the diagnosis in DSM-IV.

It may not be your situation, but I think further research would be worthwhile.


Depression is a good thing btw.

How so?

"Depression is a higher state of consciousness in which your pleasant illusions are dispelled, leading you to realise your utter irrelevance and worthlessness. Comprehension of this higher truth inevitably leads you to the only acceptable solution.
This state is incorrectly perceived by mainstream society as a medical condition, arguably because a depressed person tends to destabilise the pleasant illusions of others."

Do you usually quote satire when you're serious? I guess I have no way of knowing now. :?
