Management of resistant depression.
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: Treatment-resistant depression is a relative concept. It has been formally defined as a mood disorder that fails to respond to three adequate trials of antidepressants. However, treatment resistance is relative to the expertise and knowledge of the treating physician and the availability of resources, such as electroconvulsive therapy. Only about 7% of patients show absolute treatment resistance, and even they can be helped.
