Psychosocial Characteristics and Non-pharmacological Intervention of Patients With Treatment-resistant Depression

The intervention focused on the following topics of symptom awareness(i.e. provision of literacy in depression and stress), stress management, lifestyle restructuring and emotional self-care. These topics have been integrated as four major domains for discussions in the eight-weekly sessions. Each session starts with open discussion for participants' daily concerns to activate group dynamics, followed by second part of domain-oriented discussions, and then the third part of session review and homework reminder.
