What treatment-resistant depression means

Treatment-resistant depression usually describes major depression that has not responded well to at least two antidepressant trials at an adequate dose and duration. A consultation can help distinguish an incomplete response, difficult side effects, and other reasons a treatment may have fallen short.

Our job is to look at everything you have already tried and help you understand the options that actually make sense from here, including TMS for depression.

When antidepressants haven’t helped: a fresh review in Dallas

You can seek another assessment without knowing whether the term “treatment-resistant” applies. Bring a list of medications, approximate doses and dates, benefits, and side effects. Include therapy and other treatments you have tried.

Dr. Clark reviews your history and goals with you. The conversation can include medication management, alternatives to antidepressants, and whether an outpatient TMS course fits your needs.

Keep taking prescribed medication as directed while you arrange care; discuss any changes with your prescriber. NIMH provides background on depression treatment and medication decisions.

Before choosing TMS, ask about your proposed schedule and how progress will be assessed. Our Dallas clinic guide helps with planning repeated visits.

Common questions

What counts as treatment-resistant depression?

It generally describes major depression that has not responded adequately to at least two antidepressant trials at adequate dose and duration. The label is less important than choosing the right next step for you.

What are my options after medication has not worked?

Options can include TMS, ketamine or esketamine, ECT for severe cases, and changes to therapy or medication strategy. We help you weigh them honestly rather than pushing one path.

How do TMS, ketamine, and ECT compare?

They work through different mechanisms and suit different situations. TMS is non-invasive and outpatient; ketamine acts quickly for some but needs careful monitoring; ECT requires anesthesia and may be considered for severe depression or when other treatments have not helped. We explain the trade-offs for your situation.

Is TMS effective for treatment-resistant depression?

TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and is commonly used after medication has fallen short. Responses vary, which is why we track your symptoms over time instead of assuming.

How does cost work for TMS if you do not bill insurance?

A full TMS course at RNH is $3,500, including your assessment with Dr. Clark. We do not bill insurance. Superbills are available for applicable services; out-of-network reimbursement depends on your plan and is not guaranteed.
