Refractory depression – mechanisms and efficacy of radically open dialectical behaviour therapy (RefraMED): findings of a randomised trial on benefits and harms
Overview
This paper reports on a randomized trial evaluating Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (RO DBT) for refractory depression compared to treatment as usual alone. The study found that RO DBT significantly reduced depressive symptoms immediately after the 7-month intervention period, but this difference was not statistically significant at the 12- and 18-month follow-ups. Participants in the therapy group also reported better psychological flexibility and emotional coping, though they experienced more serious adverse reactions than the control group.
