About Us

Feeling disconnected is a lonely journey. We're here to offer a trusted, compassionate first step toward clarity.

The Story of AnhedoniaTest.com

AnhedoniaTest.com was born from a place of deep empathy. We saw so many people struggling with a feeling they couldn't name — a sense of emotional numbness or a loss of joy that felt isolating and confusing. While clinical tools existed, they often felt cold and intimidating. We wanted to create something different: a warm, safe, and gentle space to explore these feelings. Our goal was to build not just a test, but a compassionate guide that could provide a moment of clarity and relief, letting you know you are not alone.

Early 2024 - The Spark

The idea was born from a personal desire to create a more compassionate online tool for understanding emotional numbness.

June 2025 - Our Launch

AnhedoniaTest.com went live, offering a secure, science-informed, and empathetic space for self-exploration.

September 2025 - Deeper Insights

We introduced optional AI-Personalized Reports to provide more tailored guidance and actionable steps.

Coming in 2026

We are developing a library of resources focused on rebuilding connection and rediscovering sources of pleasure.
