Summary
The goal of treating major depressive disorder (MDD) is complete remission. Unfortunately, residual symptoms, such as anhedonia and cognitive impairment, are common in patients with MDD and contribute to worse outcomes. Tailoring antidepressant therapy to individual patients can help to mitigate residual symptoms and promote complete remission.

In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the risk-benefit profiles of available antidepressants and their efficacy for residual depressive symptoms. The faculty review the relative burden of side effects with different agents, the impact of therapies on cognitive function, and specific approaches to managing anhedonia.

• Discuss the risk–benefit profile of antidepressant medications and the potential impact on residual symptoms
• Tailor MDD interventions to specific patient needs, based on the presence or risk of residual symptoms and using culturally sensitive communication, to achieve clinical remission
