Market Summary
The GAD Market is expanding steadily as generalized anxiety disorder-characterized by persistent and excessive worry, restlessness, and impaired daily functioning-becomes more widely recognized and diagnosed worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty, and lifestyle-related stress have significantly increased the incidence of GAD across all age groups.

Pharmacological treatments remain a cornerstone of therapy, including SSRIs (escitalopram, paroxetine), SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine), benzodiazepines for short-term relief, buspirone, pregabalin, and beta-blockers for somatic symptoms. The emergence of novel anxiolytics targeting glutamate, neurosteroid pathways, and GABA modulation is reshaping the treatment landscape.

Non-pharmacological therapies-such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction, tele-mental health, and digital therapeutic apps-are gaining widespread adoption as awareness and acceptance of mental health care increase.
North America is the largest market due to strong diagnosis rates and advanced psychiatric infrastructure, while Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, driven by rising mental health awareness, stigma reduction, and expanding telehealth platforms.
