Market Analysis

Anxiety Disorders, Stress & Depression Treatment Market Worth $18.3 Billion By 2025

According to a report, the global anxiety disorders and depression treatment market will demonstrate a mediocre CAGR of 1.25% during the forecast period of 2014 to 2020. In 2013, the global anxiety disorders and depression treatment market stood at US£22.5 billion in 2013 and is projected to reach US£18.2 billion by 2020.

According to WHO, currently an estimated 350 million people globally are affected with depression, anxiety and stress. The primary driver of the global anxiety disorders and depression treatment market is the accelerating prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders.

Other factors driving the global anxiety disorders and depression treatment market are rising geriatric population and increasing efficacy and decreasing side effects of drugs in several classes.

Depression affects 10% to 15% men and about 10% to 25% women.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), to date, over 350 million people have been affected by depression globally. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America revealed that at present approximately 40 million people in the U.S. are suffering from anxiety disorder and treating these patients costs around USD 42 billion each year.

Nearly 50% of the women with early breast cancer had depression, anxiety, stressed or both in the year after diagnosis, 25% in the second, third, and fourth years, and 15% in the fifth year. 45% of those with recurrence experienced depression, anxiety, or both within three months of the diagnosis.

Germany

About 7 million people in Germany suffer from anxiety, depression and stress, women being affected twice as often as men.

Every tenth German develops a depression that necessitates treatment at least once a lifetime. According to estimates of the WHO (World Health Organisation), 120 million people worldwide suffer from depression.

236,843 patients were diagnosed a depressive episode. 53.0% of the patients with severe depression, 34.4% with psychotic depression and 50.9% with severe psychiatric comorbidities were treated by specialists; of the patients treated by a general practitioner 48.1% with severe and 47.3% with psychotic depression received an antidepressant; 9.7% of all patients with MDD got two antidepressants simultaneously; 8.3% received longterm benzodiazepine prescriptions; 26.1% got psychotherapy.

The estimated number of reported and unreported cases is of more than 15,000 people in Germany committing suicide each year due to Depression.

Funding

A key characteristic is the particularly between the inpatient and outpatient services, which are funded separately and staffed by different teams. In 2003 the total number of psychiatric beds was mere two thirds of the overall bed capacity in 1991, the first year as a re-unified Germany, when psychiatric beds in East and West Germany totalled 80,275.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry (MPIP) have developed a gene chip for patients suffering from depression.

Political will to invest is often lacking, but the potential savings from long-term investment are substantial, with mental illness currently costing Europe €461billion annually.

Although 21 out of 30 countries have some version of Assertive Community Treatment teams, only just over half of them provide domiciliary care or home visits.

The mission of the Hope for Depression Research Foundation (HDRF) is to fund cutting-edge, scientific research into the origins, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of depression and its related mood and other emotional disorders – bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome, anxiety disorder and suicide.
