The DSM-5 identifies a loss of interest in formerly enjoyable activities as well as a decrease in one's ability to make decisions as two of the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by obsessions and compulsions that interfere with daily activities, but not necessarily a loss of interest in enjoyable activities or a decrease in decision-making abilities. Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for the rights of others and can include aggressive behavior, but again, not necessarily a loss of interest in enjoyable activities or a decrease in decision-making abilities. Panic disorder is characterized by the experience of panic attacks and an ongoing fear of future panic attacks, but not specifically a loss of interest in activities or decreased decision-making abilities.
