Understanding loss of interest in teens with conduct disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies a symptom called anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure) in teens with conduct disorder. Researchers want to learn more about this symptom beyond just depression, which could help improve future treatments.
