Current treatment of MDD aims to fully resolve the disease-induced symptoms, to improve the quality of life and functionality in daily life. Despite advancements in MDD treatment and management options, improvements have failed to meet patient desired outcomes. Several emerging therapies such as Dextromethorphan+bupropion/AXS-05 (Axsome Therapeutics), Ansofaxine hydrochloride/LY03005 (Luye Pharma), Zuranolone/SAGE-217 (Biogen Inc./Sage Therapeutics/ Shionogi) are coming up to address the current challenges of MDD patients.
Major depressive disorder (MDD), also referred to as clinical depression, is a debilitating disease that is characterized by depressed mood, diminished interests, impaired cognitive function, and vegetative symptoms, such as disturbed sleep or appetite. MDD is associated with alterations in regional brain volumes, particularly the hippocampus, and with functional changes in brain circuits, such as the cognitive control network and the affective-salience network. Furthermore, disturbances in the main neurobiological stress-responsive systems, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the immune system, occur in MDD.
MDD is diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5 criteria. The patient must have at least five of the stated symptoms present during the same two-week period. One of the symptoms must include diminished interest/pleasure or depressed mood. In addition to a psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis of MDD could also include physical and/or blood tests to rule out causes for other conditions such as substance abuse, medical conditions such as diabetes and hypothyroidism, as well as other psychiatric disorders.
The total prevalent cases in the G7 countries are anticipated to rise to 51,356,131 by 2032 for the study period (2018-2032).
Major depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States. According to the 1-year prevalence data published by National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), there were approximately 19.4 million adults in the US that had at least one major depressive episode in the year 2019.
As per estimates, the United States accounted for the highest prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) cases in 2018 which was 30,756,221 cases, and is expected to experience a significant rise by 2032 with an impressive CAGR for the study period 2018-2032. Among the EU5, the UK had the highest Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) cases, followed by France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Japan is reported to have the highest number of cases after the United States and the UK.
The Major depressive disorder (MDD) therapeutics market is expected to increase at a significant rate during the forecast period i.e. 2022-2032. In the year 2022, the market is rapidly evolving and developing at a consistent rate and will depend on the strategies and vision of the major market players. The current MDD treatment market includes tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and atypical antipsychotics.
The increasing prevalence of major depressive disorder, the increasing usage of antidepressants and augmentation medications will drive the MDD market. Additionally, the introduction of new therapies such as Spravato, AXS-05, LY03005, Zuranolone, REL-1017, and others will drive the market growth during the forecast period from 2022-to 2032.
