TREATMENT ALGORITHMS IN TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1996 When faced with a patient having treatment-resistant depression, it is essential to maintain a systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment: 1. Consider the presence of comorbid medical or psychiatric illness that may contribute to or cause the refractory state 2. Determine the affective subtype of depression (e.g., unipolar vs. phenotypic variant of
