I came across this one today in our excellent Australian online publication The Conversation. You have an American version although I suspect it is not so widely known. It provides an academic take on the news and current affairs.
Anyway this article an Acedia may interest because it is so topical https://theconversation.com/acedia-the- ... now-144058
I like it because it shows that 3000 years ago people felt the same emotions that we feel today.

Re: Acedia
A good one to go along with anhedonia.
I like the quotation at the end of the article: “long, dark teatime of the soul”.

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
