Summary
“Difficult-to-Treat” Depression (DTD) also referred as “treatment-resistant depression” (TRD) are two terms used interchangeably but with distinct implications for therapeutic decisions and treatment strategies. In addition to focusing on symptom control, interventions for difficult-to-treat depression (DTD) should also address other factors, such as managing psychiatric and medical comorbidities, however, erroneous diagnosis and lack of treatment adherence had led to a variety of DTD outcomes.

In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the evolving neurologic basis of depression and empower clinicians with convergent evidence about the pathophysiology and appropriate treatment options of “difficult-to-treat depression” (DTD) and “treatment-resistant-depression” (TRD) to inform therapeutic decisions.
