Therapy resistance

Therapy resistance refers to a situation where a treatment for a medical condition, like a medication or therapy, does not work as effectively as expected for some individuals. This can happen for various reasons, such as genetic factors, the nature of the illness, or how a person responds psychologically or physically to treatment. In mental health, for example, someone might not improve with standard therapies. Understanding therapy resistance is important for adjusting treatment plans or exploring alternative options to better meet a patient’s unique needs.
