Abstract
Alternative second-line treatments for major depressive disorder led to higher response and remission rates in comparison to commonly used dose optimization in a randomized trial. The combination of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and psychotherapy resulted in the lowest prevalence of adverse events among the studied second-line strategies.
