  1. Author contributions: A.S., P.C., A.J.O.-M., and J.A.S. designed research; P.C., A.B.F., and T.S. performed research; A.S. and J.A.S. analyzed data; A.S., P.C., A.B.F., A.J.O.-M., and J.A.S. wrote the paper.

Disclosures

  • A.J.O.-M. was a national coordinator for Portugal of a noninterventional study (EDMS-ERI-143085581, 4.0) to characterize a treatment-resistant depression cohort in Europe, sponsored by Janssen-Cilag, Ltd. (2019–2020), a trial of psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression, sponsored by Compass Pathways (EudraCT number 2017-003288-36), and a trial of esketamine for treatment-resistant depression, sponsored by Janssen-Cilag (EudraCT NUMBER: 2019-002992-33). In the past 3 years, he received payment, honoraria, or other support from Angelini, Janssen, MSD, Neurolite AG, and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. He is vice-president of the Portuguese Society for Psychiatry and Mental Health. None of the aforementioned agencies had a role in the preparation, review, or approval of the manuscript or in the decision to submit the manuscript for publication. Other authors report no conflict of interest.

  • We thank Hugo Marques for a thoughtful review and feedback on this manuscript. J.A.S. was supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Technology and Science (FCT) CEEC Grant (2020.03118.CEECIND). A.B.F., A.J.O.-M. and J.A.S. were supported by the FCT grants PTDC/MED-NEU/1552/2021 and PTDC/SAU-NUT/3507/2021.
