Answer: D
An anhedonic patient shows loss of interest and pleasure.
Anhedonia is the reduced ability to feel pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable, such as food, company, hobbies or sex. It is one of the two core symptoms of major depressive disorder (with depressed mood) and is also a negative symptom of schizophrenia.
Memory loss is amnesia, and a fear of heights is acrophobia, a specific phobia. Inattention to detail is a feature of attention-deficit problems. None of them is what the term anhedonia, literally 'without pleasure', describes.
