Description

Managing Treatment-Resistant Depression: Road to Novel Therapeutics defines TRD for readers, discussing the clinical and epidemiological predictors, economic burden and neurobiological factors. In addition, staging methods for treatment resistance are fully covered in this book, including serotonin specific reuptake inhibitors, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, other classes of antidepressants, including tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, augmentation strategies, and newer antidepressant treatments like ketamine and esketamine. In addition, evidence supporting the use of psychotherapies and neuromodulation strategies are also reviewed. Written by top experts in the field, this book is the first of its kind to review all methods of treatment for TRD.

Review quotes

*4 stars* "...presents a comprehensive, extensive Review of the current understanding of depression, its epidemiology, presentation, predictors, socioeconomic burden, neurobiology, and effectiveness of pharmacotherapy and nonpharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions. This book extensively reviews the current understanding of treatment-resistant depression (TRD), covering a wide variety of topics including disease burden, presentation, and course…. [A]ppropriate for a broad audience,… covers a broad range of topics across 500-plus pages and 40 chapters,… a resource that should be on the shelves of those managing this complicated and challenging population.” —©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Michael Easton, MD (Rush University Medical Center)
