Antimania Drugs Market Witnesses Rapid Growth with the Emergence of Covid-19 and Resultant Surge in Neurological Diseases

Antimania Drugs Market


 Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, affects millions of people in the U.S. According to National Comorbidity Survey Replication past year prevalence of bipolar disorder among adults was similar for males (2.9%) and females (2.8%). An estimated 4.4% of U.S. adults experience bipolar disorder at some time in their lives. Such scenario is expected to aid in growth of the antimania drugs market.

Emergence of Covid-19 has increased the cases of neurological diseases around the world. According to a study published in September 2020, in JAMA Network Open, COVID-19 has tripled the rate of depression in US adults in all demographic groups—especially in those with financial worries. Thus, emergence of Covid-19 is also expected to aid in growth of the antimania drugs market.   

Bipolar disorder is divided into two main subtypes, namely, Bipolar I disorder (BP-I) and Bipolar II disorder (BP-II). Endoxifen is a potential new treatment option for acute mania in patients with bipolar I disorder that showed similar clinical efficacy as divalproex, without evidence of risk of thrombocytopenia. R&D of such new therapies is expected to aid in growth of the antimania drugs market.  

Bipolar disorder medications include at least one type of antidepressant. Most commonly, these medicines are in the class of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). These medications, which come in different varieties and are used in different ways, can effectively control the symptoms of mania and depression. However, antidepressants carry a high potential for side effects, including allergic reactions, constipation, nausea, dizziness, insomnia, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, liver damage, and psychotic problems like hallucinations and delusions. Such side effects hinder growth of the antimania drugs market.  

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs are used in the treatment of bipolar disorders. The serotonin molecule is essential in regulating mood stability, and when it is low, mood swings tend to occur. Thus, SSRI drugs can help reduce the levels of serotonin in the brain and help prevent mood fluctuations. Such advantages boost demand for SSRI drugs in the antimania drugs market. Similarly, Tamoxifen — a drug commonly used for breast cancer — has demonstrated potential as a treatment for episodes of mania in patients with bipolar disorder. Tamoxifen inhibits the intracellular action of protein kinase C, similar to other antimania drugs.
