Underserved or high-risk populations

A Staged Translational Framework for Evaluating Oral Glutamatergic and Senescence-Modulating Strategies in Treatment-Resistant Depression.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is commonly operationalized as non-remission after at least two adequately delivered antidepressant trials, but the biological heterogeneity of this population remains substantial. This article presents a translational hypothesis and drug-development framework; it reports no original clinical or laboratory data and is not a systematic review.
