I think anhedonia can be both a symptom of depression and a condition on its own. Ive had depression for decades and during that time had limited experiences of anhedonia. But for the last 4 years, anhedonia has basically taken away my life. As mentioned above, I too have read about dopamine in terms of its effect on the pleasure center of the brain but I haven't found any specific treatments regarding anhedonia. Best regards.
