Global Treatment Resistant Depression Market 2014-2024: Increasing Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression Related Disorders in Young Adults - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, Apr. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Treatment Resistant Depression Market Size, Market Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Trends, Key Players, Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2014 to 2024" report to their offering.

The treatment resistant depression market was valued at US$ 863.9 Mn in 2015, and is expected to reach US$ 1,129.1 Mn by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 3% from 2016 to 2024.

The prevalence of treatment resistant depression is substantial in several European and American countries and peaks in the 40 to 60 age group. Females present a substantially high disease burden, accounting to almost twice as their male counterparts. As opined by treatment providers, patients with TRD are found to be twice as likely as those with major depressive disorder to be hospitalized, thus adding to healthcare cost burden for hospitalized treatment resistant depression patients by 5 to 6 times. Therefore, TRD is a major and the most neglected public health issue with an estimated 12 month prevalence of 2% to 3% for Stage 1 TRD and 1.5% to 2% for Stage 2 TRD.

Inclusion of a second agent is observed to be an appealing strategy in patients who have demonstrated tolerance to initial antidepressant without significant side effects or have reported partial response and/or when a second agent may turn out to be an important additional goal such as treating comorbid condition - ADHD or smoking or a side effect like nausea. The chief drawbacks to augmentation or combination strategies are augmented risk of drug interactions, potential decrement in treatment adherence and cost.
