Hi! Quick notes for a friend :)
Treatment resistant depression: Major depressive episodes that do not respond satisfactorily to at least two trials of antidepressant monotherapy.
Things to consider:
Assess adherence
Identify comorbidities
Reassess diagnosis
Treatment strategies:
Augmentation (adding a treatment)
Switching treatment
Augmentation with pharmacotherapy:
Second-generation antipsychotics
Lithium
Second antidepressant from a different class
Thyroid hormone
Switching to a different treatment:
A different antidepressant
Psychotherapy
Transcranial magnetic stimulation
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (eg, sertaline or citalopram) are usually first line drugs.
A different antidepressant:
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (eg, venlafaxine)
Atypical antidepressants (eg, bupropion or mirtazapine)
Tricyclic antidepressants (eg, imipramine or nortriptyline)
MAOIs (eg, phenelzine or tranylcypromine)
Serotonin modulators (eg, vortioxetine or vilazodone)
A different therapy:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy
Severe treatment resistant depression:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
Intravenous ketamine or intranasal esketamine
Indications for ECT as first-line treatment:
Persistent suicidal ideation with intent
Severe weight loss, malnutrition, or dehydration secondary to refusal of food and fluids
Malignant catatonia
