Özet
Major depressive disorder is one of the most common psychiatric diseases. Initial reports related to antidepressant efficiency were clouded with the recent studies showing low remission rates in depressed patients in the long term. Therefore, new approaches are needed to develop new treatments. One approach is to redefine symptom patterns and explain the neurobiology of each pattern. Anhedonia is well known symptom of depression but its neurobiology is redefined recently. In this text, anhedonia and its relation with a antidepressant, agomelatin was discussed.
