Article Synopsis
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) shows high treatment resistance, leading researchers to explore the connection between omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and antidepressant response in depressed individuals.
- A study involving 60 MDD patients assessed their PUFA levels alongside their responses to standard antidepressant treatments over 8 weeks, revealing significant differences between responders and non-responders.
- Findings suggest that lower baseline levels of omega-3 PUFAs, along with ratios of omega-6 to omega-3, can predict how well patients will respond to antidepressants, indicating potential dietary adjustments could help manage treatment-resistant depression.

Criteria for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and partially responsive depression (PRD) as subtypes of major depressive disorder (MDD) are not unequivocally defined. In the present document we used a Delphi-method-based consensus approach to define TRD and PRD and to serve as operational criteria for future clinical studies, especially if conducted for regulatory purposes. We reviewed the literature and brought together a group of international experts (including clinicians, academics, researchers, employees of pharmaceutical companies, regulatory bodies representatives, and one person with lived experience) to evaluate the state-of-the-art and main controversies regarding the current classification.
