Background & Aims: Anhedonia is the incapacity to experience pleasure or the incapacity to experience happiness. Anhedonia is often linked to cognitive impairment, especially executive function, as a probable endophenotype in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The second category, anticipatory pleasure, refers to the expected or anticipated pleasure from future events or actions. Anticipatory pleasure is, for example, the amount of pleasure an individual anticipates experiencing following graduation. This research aimed to look at unhappiness as a component of OCD. Materials & Methods: The one-case study was the research technique, and unstructured interviews were the research instrument. Results: A patient with severe practical OCD was evaluated in this research. He was chosen using a convenience sampling method and 9 sessions were interviewed. This research revealed that the prerequisites for developing OCD might be classified into consummatory pleasures and anticipatory pleasures. In addition to identifying the existence of anhedonia in OCD this research established anhedonia as the etiology of OCD. Conclusion: This study suggests that we treat OCD using methods that target consummatory and anticipatory pleasure circumstances and a lack of consummatory and anticipatory pleasures.
