- Bipolar disorder
- Unipolar depression
- Dementia
- Others
The top three revenue-generating disease type segments in the global antipsychotic drugs market are discussed below:
Schizophrenia
“Schizophrenia patients are the largest consumers of antipsychotic drugs, generating over 45% of the overall market revenue. In addition to the drugs, patients require counseling, job training, and social rehabilitation,” says Sapna Jha, a lead analyst at Technavio for central nervous system research.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by false belief, unclear or confused thinking, hearing voices that are not real, reduction in social engagement, and lack of motivation. An individual with schizophrenia may also suffer from other mental health problems such as anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), and substance use disorder.
Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterized by alternating periods of depression and elevated mood. The treatment for bipolar disorder includes mood stabilizing agents, antipsychotics, antidepressants, antidepressants-antipsychotics, and anti-anxiety medications.
The American Psychiatric Association and the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence also recommend the use of antipsychotics for managing acute psychotic episodes in individuals with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or as a maintenance treatment for reducing the recurrence of further episodes in long duration.
Unipolar depression
People with unipolar depression account for nearly 10% of the consumers for the antipsychotic drugs market. The increasing expenditure on prescription drugs and rising prevalence of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and unipolar depression are likely to drive the market growth.
“Depression without mania is called as unipolar depression. The treatment for the disorder involves the use of atypical antipsychotics in combination with other antidepressant drugs. For instance, the US FDA prescribes the use of ABILIFY, SEROQUEL, and Zyprexa in combination with fluoxetine for the treatment of unipolar depression,” says Sapna.
