Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is common psychiatric condition that causes significant disability and disease burden. Treatment for this condition may require multiple medication trials. Up to thirty percent of individuals with MDD do not receive adequate benefit from several antidepressant drug trials and are considered treatment resistant.
