Anhedonia refers to the inability to experience pleasure and joy. The episode explored how anhedonia can manifest in various life aspects, including relationships and intimacy. Dr. Jordan explained that anhedonia can lead to feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and lack of fulfillment, which can detrimentally affect overall well-being. She also mentioned that anhedonia can result in individuals engaging in "checkbox sex," going through the motions without genuine pleasure or connection.
