Origins of Anhedonia in Childhood and Adolescence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Anhedonia: Preclinical, Translational, and Clinical Integration

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences ((CTBN,volume 58))

Abstract

Anhedonia reflects a reduced ability to engage in previously pleasurable activities and has been reported in children as young as 3 years of age. It manifests early and is a strong predictor of psychiatric disease onset and progression over the course of development and into adulthood. However, little is known about its mechanistic origins, particularly in childhood and adolescence. In this chapter, we provide a socio-cognitive model of the development of anhedonia. This model is substantiated by past literature presented in this chapter to account for how the individual trajectories of emotion knowledge, autobiographical memory, and self-concept representations contribute to the onset, persistence, and progression of anhedonia from early childhood through adolescence.
