Cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment-resistant depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders with lifetime prevalence around 4-10% (Judd and Akiskal, 2000; Kessler et  al., 2009). It has great impact on the quality of life (Saarni et al., 2007) and patient functioning (Wells et al., 1989), and is regarded as an essential factor leading to disability worldwide (Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 Collaborators., 2015). Besides, MDD leads to high disease burd en (GBD 2015 DALYs and HALE Collaborators., 2016), and has a high potential to be the first disease burden among high-income countries by 2030 (Mathers and Loncar, 2006).
