Stopped: not enough patients avalaible
Anhedonia and avolition reflect emotional and motivational disorders, respectively. However, if these disorders play a major role in the symptomatology of schizophrenia, their mechanisms remain poorly understood, and existing treatments are inefficient on these symptoms.
