Global Psychedelic Drugs Market: Growth and Trends
Psychedelic disorders are mental health issues defined by persistent perceptual disturbances following the use of psychedelic substances, especially hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD). HPPD involves persistent visual phenomena such as visual snow, trails, and altered motion perception, which are not part of another mental or medical condition and cause significant distress.Psychedelic disorders, in addition to other mental health issues, are projected to lead to worldwide productivity losses surpassing USD 1 trillion each year. Recent data suggests that the pandemic intensified existing trends, especially among younger women, with rates rising 130% quicker for teenagers and 57% quicker for young adults after the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2022, antidepressants ranked as the third most prevalent category of prescribed medications. The WHO states that there are numerous obstacles for effectively treating depression and other mental health disorders including insufficient understanding of these conditions, ongoing social stigma, incorrect diagnoses, and limited effective treatments. Due to such difficulties, an increase in clinical research emphasizes the treatment possibilities of psychedelic compounds for mental health issues such as depression. Researchers suggest that when given in suitable doses, psychedelics may assist in alleviating certain severe psychological effects in patients.
Psychedelic compounds have been shown to affect multiple neurotransmitter systems, including those related to serotonin, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. At present, various participants in the pharmaceutical sector are involved in research of both natural and synthetic derivatives of psychedelic compounds. The market for psychedelic drugs is expected to experience significant growth in the next decade.
