by Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) refers to a group of conditions characterized by at least two weeks of depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities, and impaired social and occupational functioning. Some of the key symptoms associated with MDD include feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, sleep problems, lack of energy, poor appetite or overeating, difficulty with concentration and memory, and thoughts of self-harm or suicide. MDD is a common but serious illness that negatively affects how an individual feels, thinks, and handles daily activities such as sleeping, eating, or working. If left untreated, MDD can become a severe, recurrent illness that is difficult to manage.
The global Major Depressive Disorder Treatment market offers a variety of drugs and therapies to manage MDD symptoms and improve quality of life. Antidepressant medications are the first-line treatment option which work to balance neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs) are some of the commonly prescribed drug classes. Other pharmacological treatments include monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and atypical antipsychotics. For treatment-resistant cases, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) devices and deep brain stimulation (DBS) may provide relief.
The global Major Depressive Disorder Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 11.83 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 19.% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The emergence of novel therapeutic options such as psychedelic-assisted therapies is gaining momentum in the field of MDD treatment. Psychedelic compounds like psilocybin from magic mushrooms, LSD, ketamine, and ayahuasca are being researched for their antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. Phase 2 & 3 clinical trials are underway to evaluate the efficacy and safety of psilocybin therapy for depression. Companies like COMPASS Pathways, MindMed, and Eleusis are developing psychedelic drugs and digital therapeutics to improve patient outcomes. Another key trend is the development of fast-acting antidepressants. Intravenous or intranasal formulations of well-established drugs like ketamine, esketamine and rapastinel aim to provide acute antidepressant effects within hours instead
