Personality traits as risk factors for treatment-resistant depression.

<h4>Background</h4>The clinical outcome of antidepressant treatment in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) is thought to be associated with personality traits. A number of studies suggest that depressed patients show high harm avoidance, low self-directedness and cooperativenes...
