Pharmaceuticals Need a Win Amid Rising Health Crises
The pharmaceutical industry faces significant pressure for success, especially following past failures. Current mental health treatments, similar to SSRIs, can numb symptoms but may not be the best long-term solutions for anxiety and depression. Alarmingly, various health conditions have seen dramatic increases over the past 30 years: ADHD has risen by 819%, Alzheimer's by 300%, autism by 2000%, and bipolar disorder in youth has increased dramatically as well. Other conditions like celiac disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression have similarly surged. This highlights a growing health crisis that demands effective pharmaceutical interventions.
