COVID-19 Pandemic Catapults Psychedelic Drugs Market to an Unprecedented High
The occurrence of mental health illness has skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a survey conducted by Pew Research Center in February 2021, 21% of the U.S. adults reported high levels of psychological distress with 32% of those aged 18-29 doing so. The percentage of U.S. adults reporting symptoms of anxiety and clinical depression rose fourfold from 11% in 2019 to 42% in 2020. The demand for virtual mental health consultations including counselling and therapy is anticipated to touch 138 million visits by the end of this year, auguring well for companies in the psychedelic drugs market.
Encouraging Results From Clinical Trials Point to Bright Future for Psychedelic Drugs
Since 2015, seven neuropsychiatric drugs have been approved. The results of clinical trials have been truly encouraging and there is strong evidence that psychedelic drugs are quick and highly effective at treating mental health conditions such as depression. In addition, psychedelic drugs are tolerated well by most patients, bolstering their demand further. There is a possibility that psychedelic drugs will be required for the diagnosis and therapy of mental health at both an individual and institutional level, boding well for companies in the psychedelic drugs market.
Prohibitive Costs Could Pose Challenges to Growth in the Psychedelic Drugs Market
Several mental health therapies necessitate highly-skilled therapists. For e.g. – COMPASS with its five-tier therapist training mechanism. It is very expensive to train therapists and grant them the required accreditation to practice. The length of therapy can range from anywhere between four to six hours with some sessions in excess of one hour. Lengthier sessions naturally cost more, making them unaffordable for patients lacking a robust insurance net or from low-income countries.
