Major depressive disorder is a chronic drug-treated condition, and treatment of it is ingrained with generic therapies. However, many of these therapies suffer from shortcomings in efficacy and/or safety and tolerability, resulting in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and creating opportunity for improved therapies. Although branded agents such as Lundbeck / Takeda’s Trintellix / Brintellix (vortioxetine) and Janssen’s Spravato (esketamine) have expanded the armamentarium of therapeutic options, opportunity remains for new therapies. This report provides quantitative insight into psychiatrists’ perceptions of key treatment drivers and goals and assesses the current level of unmet need and opportunity in the treatment of TRD.
