Anergia/Anhedonia: Schedule appointment with your primary care doc. To do physical & workup to rule out physical causes for symptoms. If no cause found, can refer you to a psychiatrist for further assessment & tx of depression.

Seek treatment: I will first recommend to rule out other possible causes of these symptoms. Get your thyroid hormone levels checked because hypothyroidism can cause all these symptoms. Make sure you are not anaemic, has severe insomnia or eating very less and your diet may lack tryptophan. Treat your depression through antidepressants, psychotherapy, exercise, healthy diet, good rest, socializing, meditation, etc.
