Résumé

About 30% of patients with major depressive disorder have treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Recently, intranasal esketamine was approved as a treatment option after the failure of two antidepressant trials. We report a patient with multiresistant depression that was successfully and safely treated with esketamine nasal spray. This 31-year-old inpatient with severe, chronic, and multi-TRD received an acute course of intranasal esketamine (84 mg). Previously, 14 different antidepressants, alone or in potentiation, and several neurostimulation techniques had been unsuccessful. Over 20 bi-weekly sessions, she had no significant adverse effects and was stabilized into remission. During the maintenance phase and 1 year after, she continues to be stable. This case report provides an example of a patient with severe TRD that showed significant improvement after treatment with intranasal esketamine.
