A new study argues that the most dangerous part of depression isn’t negative emotion, it’s the absence of positive emotion, known as anhedonia.
Affecting 90% of patients, anhedonia is a primary predictor of suicide and chronic illness. The researchers have introduced Positive Affect Treatment (PAT), a 15-session therapy that ignores “fixing” sadness and instead focuses exclusively on rebuilding the brain’s capacity for joy, motivation, and reward.
