Treatment-resistant depression and intranasal esketamine: Spanish consensus on theoretical aspects

Introduction Depression is a highly prevalent disease that severely impacts the life of patients. Inadequate response to at least two antidepressants despite adequacy of treatment and adherence is known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which entails a higher social and economic burden than n...
