| Abstract | Treatment-resistant mood and anxiety disorders require an intensive therapeutic approach, and it should balance benefits and adverse effects or other potential detrimental effects of medications. The goal of treatment is to provide consistent and lasting improvement in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Beozodiazepines are effective for anxiety symptoms, but with no sustained treatment effects. Other medication treatment options for anxiety disorders are outlined. Ketamine is usually very effective in treating maior depressive disorder but without sustained benefits. Loog-term use may pose a signiticant risk of developing tolerance and dependence. Stimulant medication augmentation for treatment-resistant depression is effective for residual symptoms of depression, but effects are usually short-lasting and it sounds mor as an artificial way of improving energy, alertness and cognitive functioning. Synthetic cannabinoids and medical marijuana are increasingly prescribed for various medical conditions. but more recently also for patients with mood and anxiety disorders. All of these treatments may raise ethical dilemmas about appropriateness of prescribing these medications and a number of questions regarding the optimal treatment for patients with treatment-resistant depression and treatment refractory anxiety disorders. |
