If you haven't had results from medication, there are a couple of new drugs on the market now that are indicated for treatment resistant depression.


Have any details? I have a close friend with treatment resistant depression.


There's two SSRI-like drugs called vilazodone and vortioxetine that are indicated for it, as is esketamine.

There are also a few antipsychotic-like drugs that are used at low doses for antidepressant effects along with other antidepressants, but I'm not sure if the newer ones are indicated for depression, or if the newer ones are just reformulations of existing medications. It looks like there's a newer olanzapine combination on the market.


any examples i can look up?



thanks!
