Illuminating a Joyless Life: A Qualitative Study Exploring Anhedonia 

Do you have a diagnosis of psychosis or depression and experience low pleasure or enjoyment?

If this fits your experience, we would like to invite you to take part in a research study. The purpose of the project is to understand the experience of loss of pleasure or enjoyment, what it is like for the people experiencing it, alongside different mental health conditions, and what the wider impacts are. 

What will it involve?
The study involves an initial phone call with the researcher to check eligibility, you will then be sent an information sheet if you are eligible and interested in taking part. The research meeting includes a brief questionnaire and a 1-hr interview with a researcher and someone with lived experience. The session can take place online on MS Teams, in person at a local NHS setting or King's College London in Camberwell. 

Who are we looking to recruit? 
We are looking for people with a diagnosis of depression or psychosis, who are aged over 18yrs old and are current experiencing difficulty enjoying things. 

Rewards and Expenses 
You will be reimbursed £25 (bank payment or voucher) as a thank you for your time. Travel expenses for in-person interviews will also be covered.
