Anhedonia is closely linked to depression, but you don't have to be depressed or feel sad to have it. It also affects people with other mental illnesses, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. And it can show up in people with seemingly unrelated health concerns like Parkinson's disease, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and substance abuse issues.
Scientists think anhedonia may be tied to changes in brain activity. You might have a problem with the way your brain produces or responds to dopamine, a "feel-good" mood chemical. Some early research (on rats) suggests that the dopamine neurons in an area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex might be overactive in people with anhedonia. This somehow interferes with pathways that control how we seek out rewards and experience them

In the event of Best Friend achieving the status of "in a relationship" the friend that activated the Friendship Clause is asking said friend to "investigate" his girlfriend's friends for his friend's (That activated said clause) next proper girlfriend.
In the event of said friend not sticking to the once activated clause, a point is deducted on the friendship status (and may result in extended silent amongst friends). But if all best friends of said girlfriend do not meet criteria for the best friend (not suitable for dating of best friend i.e sluts, crazy, age) then the clause is then waived but always invoked for future potential candidates.
