Global market for drugs to treat mental disorders to reach nearly $77.1 billion by 2018

Mental disorders such as schizophrenia, mood disorders, substance abuse, and dementia contribute more to global disease burden than cancer or cardiovascular diseases. During the economic downturn of 2009, the global pharmaceutical industry significantly decreased its investment in new treatments for mental disorders, but the improving economic conditions spurred growth in domestic and foreign investment in the field of mental medication. Improvements in patient security policy, rising disease prevalence, and increasing awareness about mental health issues will shape growth in this market for the foreseeable future.
