I think it is accurate to say that not all anhedonia is the result of a depressive disorder. However, it can be. Drawing upon my own experiences with bipolar depression, when antidepressants alone improved my depression, anhedonia improved along with it. I found Nardil to be the most hopeful in this regard. However, my response to Nardil is usually short-lived. Effexor and Cymbalta also helped with anhedonia when I responded to them.
For me, Focalin (dexmethyphenidate) gave me more mental energy, but did nothing for anhedonia. I found Focalin better than Ritalin (methylphenidate).
