In the 1st survey round (SR), participants responded to open-ended questions on definitions of TRLLD. Responses informed the development of 70 structured items for 2nd SR, involving 58 closed (yes\/no) items and 12 multiple-choice questions across six domains: symptom presentation, cognitive impairment, comorbidities, pharmacotherapy, treatment adherence, and psychosocial factors. Consensus was defined as \u226570% agreement. In 3rd SR, participants reviewed comments and validated the final categorical definition, the operational staging model, and the derived decision algorithm for TRLLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933826122287_sec3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Consensus was reached for 72.4% of the 58 closed items. Experts agreed that the categorical definition of TRLLD should correspond to major depressive disorder in individuals aged \u226565\u00a0years who show insufficient response to two adequate antidepressant treatments, in the absence of dementia and medical conditions that could account for depressive symptoms. An operational staging model and decision-making algorithm were developed from consensus items.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933826122287_sec4\"
