Which Emerging Trends Are Reshaping The Antidepressants Market Size?
The management of severe depression is a significant trend in the antidepressant industry, where Ketamine stands out as the innovative treatment option. Originally used for anesthesia in surgeries, it boosts glutamate production and encourages the brain to form new neural connections. Consequently, this allows the brain to be more adaptable, fostering the development of new pathways and enabling the patients to cultivate more positive thoughts and actions. For example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) endorsed a fresh ketamine depression medication, esketamine, which constitutes one-half of the ketamine compound. The medication necessitates administration through a nasal spray and the patients are required to be on another antidepressant simultaneously. Moreover, only those patients can be prescribed these drugs, who have previously attempted two antidepressants without success.
