The definition of treatment resistance in anxiety disorders: a Delphi method-based consensus guideline
World Psychiatry. 2024 Feb;23(1):113-123. doi: 10.1002/wps.21177.ABSTRACTAnxiety disorders are very prevalent and often persistent mental disorders, with a considerable rate of treatment resistance which requires regulatory clinical trials of innovative therapeutic interventions. However, an explicit definition of treatment-resistant anxiety disorders (TR-AD) informing such trials is currently lacking.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of online recorded recovery narratives in improving quality of life for people with non-psychotic mental health problems: a pragmatic randomized controlled trial
World Psychiatry. 2024 Feb;23(1):101-112. doi: 10.1002/wps.21176.ABSTRACTNarratives describing first-hand experiences of recovery from mental health problems are widely available. Emerging evidence suggests that engaging with mental health recovery narratives can benefit people experiencing mental health problems, but no randomized controlled trial has been conducted as yet.
