One in three adults with major depressive disorder are diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), affecting around 1.1% of the general U.S. population. But what exactly is treatment-resistant depression? 

The term treatment-resistant depression most often refers to major depressive episodes – occurrences when symptoms of depression occur most of the day, nearly every day1 – that do not respond satisfactorily to at least two trials of optimally dosed antidepressant monotherapy. However, this definition has not yet been standardized2.
