This symposium highlights cutting-edge research on reward processing in depression and anxiety, a transdiagnostic mechanism linked to their development, maintenance, and comorbidity. Using diverse methodologies—experimental paradigms, self-reports, neuroimaging, and passive sensing—the presentations demonstrate how deficits in reward processing impact depression and anxiety and how treatments may improve reward processing.
