Electroconvulsive therapy, repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation and esketamine for difficult-to-treat depression and treatment resistance. Difficult-to-treat depression (DTD) or treatment-resistant depression (TRD) represent a complex clinical challenge with high socio-economic relevance. Adequate treatment and care require a multidimensional approach and a broad range of therapeutic options. Reflecting recent research, we summarise the evidence that electroconvulsive therapy and novel methods such as repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation and ketamine/s-ketamine are Effective and safe in DTD and TRD. However, costs for these treatments are currently not fully covered by the Swiss medical insurance system, which prevents many patients from receiving efficacious therapies. Considering the enormous personal and economic burden of disease to individuals and to society, this should be revised. Full article

Background: Over the last two decades, the relationship between distance and mental health and the role of distance in psychotherapy has generated considerable research interest. Up to date, operationalizations have primarily focused on verbal content whereas descriptions of distance on the level of communicative form are lacking in the psychological literature. Design and Methods: 5 open-ended narrative interviews with persons with an experience of psychotic (2) or depressive (3) illness were transcribed and systematically coded for characteristics of distance described in the psychological and linguistic literature up to date. Codes for further characteristics of distance were developed bottom-up from the data. Codes were then grouped into broader interpretative categories and these categories were again applied to the data. Results: Distance was displayed at the level of content and form. In total, 29 individual characteristics of distance could be identified, and three interpretative categories emerged: ‘detachment’, ‘balanced oscillation’ and ‘immersion’. Discussion: Our study provides an in-depth, nuanced and gestaltic description of distance and raises awareness for displays of distance at the level of communicative form in addition to content. Our results also support an understanding of distance as a continuous phenomenon and highlight its processual character. Possible connections between distancing and coping as well as implications for psychotherapy are discussed. Full article
