Bipolar Disorder - Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2030
Summary
Bipolar disorder, known originally as manic-depressive illness, is a mental disorder characterized by periods of mania and depression. Manic episodes are the distinguishing feature of this condition and consist of an abnormally elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, as well as persistently increased activity or energy. Conversely, phases of depression involve significantly depressed mood and loss of interest or pleasure. The frequency, severity, and pattern of these episodes can vary considerably over time and among individuals, making bipolar disorder one of the most challenging psychiatric disorders to manage.
The bipolar disorder market is competitive and crowded with a multitude of approved therapies, many of which are available as inexpensive generics. The approved drugs in the bipolar disorder market can be divided into two broad categories: mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Lithium is widely considered to be the gold standard for bipolar disorder based on its efficacy as a maintenance treatment and its ability to treat acute episodes of both mania and depression.
