The global depression drugs market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% during 2019-2024. Depression drugs, or antidepressants, are a range of medications that are consumed for the treatment of mental disorders such as social anxiety and depression. They are intended to balance the functioning of neurotransmitters such as serotonin in the brain, thus controlling the mood and emotions of the patient. Depression and related mental disorders are characterized by the absence of positive emotions, constant low mood and numerous cognitive, physical, behavioral and emotional symptoms. These drugs can assist in relieving the symptoms of anxiety, seasonal affective disorder and dysthymia. Antidepressant medications include the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), atypical antidepressants and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) that are most effective when consumed along with regular therapeutic sessions.
