I am hoping someone might explain some terms so I might understand them better. First, how is "anhedonia" pronounced? My general practioner didn't even know what this word meant. After that, I didn't even venture trying to ask him my next question, which was to explain to me what is meant by "agonist" and "antagonist". Dictionary meanings didn't clarify this much to me. Can you share with me examples of these words in action? For example, Remeron I believe is an antagonist...what does that mean? Does it hamper something or enhance something? What is the end result of an agonist? What is the end result of an antagonist? I hope this doesn't sound too silly, it's probably psych 101, but I read these words all the time and never really understand what they mean or how they work. Thanks in advance for your help.
