Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with anhedonia and severe executive dysfunction since childhood (around age 10-12). Traditional medications—like stimulants, Vortioxetine, and Bupropion—have acted like literal sugar pills for me. Zero positive effects, zero side effects. It’s like my brain just does
