Abstract
What should one do with a depressed patient who does not get better? If depression does not respond to an antidepressant given in adequate doses for an adequate time, logical next steps include increasing the dose, adding a different medication, or adding a nonpharmacologic therapy. Or one can reconsider the diagnosis.
