However, following the licensing of fluoxetine for bulimia and bupropion for smoking cessation, Datamonitor has identified a third phase of potential development for antidepressant drugs. By targeting non-anxiety disorders, manufacturers are continually escalating the patient potential for their drugs, which is crucial if the rapid expansion of the antidepressant is to be continued in this decade.The understanding of the prevalence level of depressive symptoms, both at presentation and throughout the illness, is key for all antidepressant manufacturers to devise successful marketing strategies. Furthermore, the competitive landscape in these sub-markets is crucial to understand, if a significant return on investment is to be achieved.Reasons to Purchase: * Understand the prevalence level of depressive symptoms in the treated population * Enhance your understanding of how these symptoms respond to current therapies * Identify the prevalence level of specific anxiety disorders in the treated depression population * Increase your understanding of the prevalence level of non-anxiety disorders in depression patients * Discover the commercial and strategic opportunities that exist in these areas of the depression market
