Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder | Disease Landscape and Forecast | G7 | 2018
Attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects over 40 million people—children, adolescents, and adults—across the major pharmaceutical markets. The key treatment goals for both pediatric and adult ADHD include controlling the core symptoms of the condition—inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity—as well as improving patients’ overall functioning and quality of life. Psychostimulants are the predominant drug class prescribed for both pediatric and adult ADHD, though nonstimulant therapies serve as alternative or later-line options. Shortcomings in existing therapies, however, represent potential areas of opportunity for emerging therapies to be differentiated from competitors. Furthermore, recognition and diagnosis of adult ADHD continues to grow, particularly in the United States, but this population remains underdetected and undertreated, representing a sizable market opportunity.
