Brief summary

This study contributes new evidence for the identification of adolescent TRD and sheds light on differing pathophysiologies by delineating distinct plasma metabolic profiles between adolescent TRD and FEDN-MDD.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST17-HAMD

Patients were interviewed in a semi-structured manner and assessed using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale
