Middle East & Africa Pharmacogenetics Testing in Psychiatry/Depression Market Definition
Pharmacogenomic testing has recently become scalable and available to guide major depressive disorder (MDD). Clinicians increasingly recognize Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing as an essential tool to guide medication decisions for psychiatric illnesses. Extensive implementation of PGx testing is driving the market in the forecast period.
The terms personalized medicine, stratified medicine, and precision medicine are close relatives of pharmacogenetics, but these are broader terms that also cover additional non-genetic factors. Nevertheless, pharmacogenetics is an important component of these areas. Pharmacogenetics is primarily concerned with human germline DNA variation, but there have also been important recent advances in understanding mood disorders, and mental illnesses.
Pharmacogenetics testing studies the interaction between drug and gene response of a person and searches for the gene variation which is responsible for influencing the drug effect. The test is gaining high demand as many researchers and scientists identified the unique interaction between drugs and individual genes and provides valuable insights which subsequently be used to develop customized or personalized medication.
Middle East & Africa Pharmacogenetics Testing in Psychiatry/Depression Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM PSYCHIATRIC AND DEPRESSION DISORDER
Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60 years. Depression can become a serious health condition of mild to extreme severity, affecting the person to suffer greatly and can lead to suicide in the worst cases. Although over 45 antidepressants are available, suboptimal response poses a challenge and is considered a result of genetic variation, psychiatry/depression. Depending on the severity and pattern of depressive episodes over time, healthcare providers may offer psychological diagnosis such as behavioral activation, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and/or antidepressant medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). Different drugs are used for this kind of mental disorder.
With the growth in the prevalence of depression, the demand for pharmacogenetics testing is also increasing as it studies the effect of genetic variants intending to furnish tailored diagnosis. The market is expected to grow in foresting period.
- RISE IN DEMAND FOR PERSONALIZED AND PRECISION MEDICINE
Pharmacogenetics test aids the medical professional in choosing the best medicine for the person because the test searches for the gene variant that may be responsible for influencing the effect of the drug.
Medicine is beginning to get personal, and patients are gradually expressing interest in improved outcomes and less adverse effects with personalized medications. Personalized medicine has the potential to tailor the therapy with a high safety margin and the best response. This trend is largely driven by genome sequencing improvements.
The move toward personal healthcare means changes in the manufacturing of medicines. Manufacturers are moving from creating small molecules to the combination of small molecule and gene therapies. Sponsors focus on replacing inefficient large-scale batch production with investment in new technology and producing personalized drugs.
Restraint
- Lack of skilled medical and genomic expert
Most clinicians still lack confidence in pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing and subsequent data interpretation, indicating insufficient knowledge in this field. It emphasizes the need to improve literacy among healthcare professionals regarding expertise in and understanding of pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing.
Lack of practitioners awareness about the possibilities of pharmacogenetics and poor or insufficient explanation of the test results also reduce personalization technologies for patients. In addition to developing thematic training courses at medical universities, including the educational cycles in continuing professional education systems and free placement of information for practicing doctors are required: academic internet portals, webinars, etc. A clinical pharmacologist plays a crucial role in the implementation of pharmacogenetic testing.
The competence of a clinical pharmacologist in the field of pharmacogenetics is critical: he or she is the one who organizes the application of genotyping in clinical practice, interprets tests, and informs doctors about the possibilities of pharmacogenetics for patients with specific nosologies, that is, acts as the main link between the scientific world, the healthcare system, and practicing physicians in the process of introducing pharmacogenetics.
Opportunity
-
Rising advancements in technology
Advances in pharmacogenomics have introduced an increasing number of opportunities to bring personalized medicine into clinical practice for psychiatric disorders. Personalized medicine may be defined as a comprehensive, prospective approach to preventing, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring disease in ways that achieve optimal individual health care decisions. Over 100 medications now contain United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labelling related to potentially applicable pharmacogenomic biomarkers with technological advancements in healthcare. Also, new and advanced methods are being developed to promote pharmacogenetics testing in depression-like disorders. These tests use advanced genetic testing methods to give precise results to form a treatment regimen. The improvements in technology supporting tests improved accessibility of testing options, and the growing number of resources that help clinicians understand how to use this information when it is available are making this aspect of personalized or precision medicine a reality. Thus, providers need to become more aware of the scientific and clinical relevance of pharmacogenomic tests.
The tests also help to establish a meaningful relationship between a drug and the individual genetic makeup. This helps in deciding the drugs to be administered to the patient to treat major depressive disorders and other psychiatric conditions.
Challenge
