English abstract:
      The aim of this study is to explore the diagnostic strategies and options for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Despite the well-established efficacy of antidepressants, 20%~30% of depressive patients in the clinic fail to respond or respond poorly to normative treatment with antidepressants. Patients with TRD are forced to bear a heavy burden of medical costs and disease. Therefore, this article discusses the TRD in terms of the definition, prevalence, disease burden, etiological mechanism, risk factors, assessment grading, highlighting different treatment strategies and options to inform clinical practice and scientific research on TRD.
