It seems that many religious people suffered from anhedonia (Mother Teresa, Paul of the Cross, etc.). Could anhedonia be a sign of shamanic introductory illness?
Doesn't buddhism call anhedonia / depersonalization a state of bliss / nirvana?

At least in Buddhism, the ending of desire is indeed used synonymous with nibbana and bliss. Suffering from a lack of pleasure isn't.

I think what they are talking about is coming to recognize a truth of sorts. If you want something and it turns out not to be what you thought it was, you're motivations for desiring it will very likely change, maybe even disappear and enable you to find things you care about even more.
