Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reduces hippocampal volumes and anterior cortex (PFC) activity in depressed patients and disrupts physiological state inside the neuro-circuit of depression. Antidepressants increase brain-derived neurotrophic, restoring vegetative cell growth and activity and modulate interactions between the neuro-circuit anatomical structures.

Track 6: Neuromodulation Techniques

Deep Brain Stimulation, is one of the latest approved new treatment for tremors and Parkinson’s disease.it includes implantation of mind pace maker which transmits electrical impulses to specific parts of cerebrum, this technique has been successful in clinical trials particularly for the people who are impervious to most different endeavours at treatment, it's an exceedingly obtrusive surgical system that requires direct upkeep, and may not be conceivable or advantageous for a few patients.

The modulation of brain perform via the appliance of weak electrical energy was initial determined directly within the early nineteenth century. Within the past three decades, Trans cranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain stimulation have undergone clinical translation, providing alternatives to medical specialty treatment of neurologic and medicine disorders. Additional development of novel Neuromodulation techniques using ultrasound, micro-scale magnetic fields and ontogenetic is being propelled by a quickly up understanding of the clinical and experimental applications of unnaturally stimulating or depressing brain activity in human health and malady.

Track 7: Specific Phobias and Treatment

Everyone experiences fear from time to time. Specific phobias develop in childhood between the ages of 7 and 11. While ordinary fears cause minor anxiety and can be more easily overcome, specific phobias physically and/or psychologically impair the affected individual to such an overwhelming extent that it is disabling to their daily life.

Market Analysis

In 2023, depression is planned to congregate globally. Welcome to the 10th World Congress on Depression and Anxiety, which will be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands on November 23-24, 2023.

The term "depression" is frequently used to characterise someone who is depressed. Depression is a dangerous condition that is frequently referred to as a "black hole of hopelessness and helplessness," despite the fact that the term is sometimes used carelessly. Although a chemical imbalance in the brain is thought to be the primary cause of depression, it can also have deeper and more intricate causes. Depression has no "scientific cause." Anyone can experience depression, and the circumstances that lead to depression differ greatly from person to person.

Depression usually spurs due to a combination of several things, such as:
Family History: genetics, depression can run in the family for generations
Trauma and stress include situations and occurrences including financial difficulties, relationship breakups, the loss of a loved one, major life or lifestyle changes like starting a new career, finishing school, getting engaged, or becoming pregnant.
Pessimistic Personality: having low-self esteem or having a negative outlook
Physical Condition: Due to physical infirmity and stress, issues like significant medical disorders including heart disease, cancer, and HIV may arise. Depression is known to compromise the immune system, which makes it difficult to tolerate physical discomfort.
Psychological Disorders: anxiety, eating disorders, schizophrenia and substance abuse can also lead to depression
other mood-altering conditions like dysthymia, seasonal affective disorder, post-partum depression, and bipolar disorder can also lead to depression.
Behavioural Rehabilitation Market is in a growth phase:
The market for depression treatments is anticipated to surpass US$ 10.1 billion in 2022 and grow at a CAGR of 5.2% to US$ 16.8 billion by 2032. A recent analysis found that the pharmaceutical industry leads all other product categories and will account for almost 99.4% of global demand in 2021. The market for treating depression will account for 7.6% of the $128.2 billion global market for behavioural health in 2021.
The prevalence of mental health illnesses and ailments is rising worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In the past ten years, there has been a 13% rise in mental health issues and other depressive diseases. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimates that in 2020, a major depressive episode (MDE) affected 17.0% (or 4.1 million individuals) of teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17 and severely impaired MDE affected 12% (or 2.9 million people). The prevalence of mental health issues is rising as a result of a number of reasons, including demographic changes, environmental conditions, and rising mental stress. The market for treating depression is growing better as a result of this.
Companies in the global depression treatment market are actively looking to enhance their position through mergers with both existing and up-and-coming industry participants, according to Future Market Insights (FMI). For instance, Mylan and Upjohn merged to establish Vitrics Company in November 2020.

Physical disorders are more prevalent in patients with severe mental illness than in the general population. Even in affluent nations, the screening assessment of physical health components is still relatively lacking, despite the fact that excess mortality and dejection is mainly caused by modifiable lifestyle risk. Additionally, individual patient providers, treatments, and system characteristics place restrictions on our understanding of how to treat human physical disorders. By shifting their focus from providing clinical psychiatric care to the management and treatment of critical physical parameters, psychiatrists can significantly contribute to the improvement of the physical health of disorder patients. Actions are difficult to implement at the system level. Particularly for poorer nations although at the individual level, the problem of optional medical care in this population can already be improved by the treating practitioner doing even modest and very basic absorb and treatment activities. Implementing monitoring and treatment recommendations will significantly improve the outcomes for physical health. Future psychiatrists will support and educate persons with serious mental disease about their lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking, eating poorly, and not exercising. A certain improvement in the medical and related psychiatric health outcomes of individuals with the severe mental illness will result from the adoption of the council described in the study around the world.

Sales Analysis of Depression Treatment from 2012 To 2021 Vs Market Outlook For 2022 To 2030:
According to FMI, the rising frequency of depression and anxiety disorders caused overall sales of depression treatment to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2012 to 2021. The rising demand for antidepressants and treatments for mental illnesses during the anticipated period also contributes to growth (2022-2030). It is crucial that people receive therapy for depression on time because medical visits for depression therapies can take a long time. Initiatives must be taken to guarantee that patients with persistent physical problems receive top-notch mental healthcare in primary care if competing demands continue to hinder depression treatment.
The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted a poll in 2021 and discovered that as a result of the pandemic, mental health problems are continuing to rise. In comparison to the previous year, there has also been a notable rise in the demand for therapies for depression and anxiety. Additionally, new research on antidepressants for the treatment of depression is ongoing across a variety of pharmacological classes, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), Antipsychotic medications, SNRIs (selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors), and others.
What Are The Key Opportunities For Depression Treatment Market?
The financing for mental health services, as well as the treatment of mental disease and depression disorders, is being increased by governments.

Some of the drivers driving the market are the need for high-quality therapies, affordable healthcare policies, financing from government agencies, and healthcare organisation interventions for the treatment of mental health illnesses.
Additionally, as they enhance brain glucose metabolism and reduce the likelihood of mental illnesses, improvements in brain and mental fitness are opening up new pathways for the treatment of depression.
Due to the rising frequency of depressive disorders in the area, the U.S., which held the majority of the market share in 2021 with 92.8%, is anticipated to continue growing at a similar rate over the course of the forecast.

What Are The Factors Restraining Demand For Depression Treatment?

The treatment of individuals with depression may suffer as a result of the lack of such highly qualified specialists and their scarcity. These elements may have an impact on service quality, slowing the market's expansion for depression therapy.
Additionally, the introduction of generic versions of medications used to treat depression will likely spur a significant expansion of the overall market, giving consumers access to a wide range of affordable prescription options. Pharmaceutical corporations will no longer be protected by patents, exposing some drugs to generic competition for the first time. This increases competition for the businesses that created the original products. Therefore, issues with patent expiry will impede market expansion for depression treatments.
For instance, the patent for the antidepressant and anxiety medication Lexapro ended on March 14, 2012. Additionally, depression and other mental illnesses are stigmatised in society. Patients who self-stigmatize experience feelings of shame and isolation, which can prevent them from receiving appropriate therapy. Additionally, it could result in somatization. Those who have never encountered it may mistakenly see difficulty in understanding as a sign of weakness

Signs and symptoms of depression often go beyond feeling sad or down. Below is a list of other symptoms that may be a sign of depression:

• Lack of energy or inability to focus
• Irritability for no apparent reason
• Feeling depressed or blue for longer than two weeks and having these feelings interfere with   your day-to-day activities
• Self-harming, believing that nothing will improve or change;
• Loss of interest in once-enjoyed hobbies or activities;
• Changes in appetite that result in significant weight loss or gain;
• Changes in sleeping habits;
• Withdrawal from social activities;
• Feeling restless or "slowed down";
• Lack of motivation or significant changes in motivation;
