What is treatment-resistant depression (TRD)? 

 

Unfortunately, depression treatments don't always work. As many as two-thirds of people with depression aren't helped by the first antidepressant they try. Up to a third don't respond to several attempts at treatment. Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) typically refers to an inadequate response to antidepressants. 

How can TRD be treated?

Cognitive behavioral therapy

TMS

Esketamine
