Have you ever noticed that things you used to enjoy just… don’t feel the same anymore?
You’re not sad. You’re not happy. You just feel nothing.
That experience has a name — anhedonia.
In this Psych2Go video, we explain what anhedonia is, why it happens, and how it can affect your emotions, motivation, and everyday life. Emotional numbness isn’t a personality flaw or a lack of gratitude — it’s often a response to stress, burnout, depression, trauma, or long-term emotional overload.
