Abstract     Depression is often a chronic and relapsing mental disorder, characterized by deficits in everyday func-tioning, low quality of life and high disease burden for society. Although we have witnessed an improve-ment in different treatments for depression, there is still a large number of patients who do not respond to treatment or do not achieve satisfactory remis-sion. Definitions of treatment resistant depression are currently not unified, which precludes reliable assesments of its prevalence. We will present a review of current findings about resistence to treatment in depression, risk factors for its development and exist-ing systems for definition of treatment resistant depression in clinical practice. Latest classification systems are more complex and therefore time con-suming, but could represent an important step towards more objective assesment of treatment resistance compared with current clinical practice.
