About 15% of depressed patients die from suicide. The annual economic loss caused by depression in the United States amounts to $43.7 billion.
Recently, the US FDA officially approved the launch of a new medical device developed by Cyberonic for the treatment of depression. According to reports, this product is mainly suitable for severe depression that is ineffective after treatment with conventional antidepressants.
The medical device that treats depression is about the size of a commercially available cardiac pacemaker. Its working principle is that it can send electrical pulse signals of specific wavelength to the brain, and promote the vagus nerve function to return to normal, thus improving the symptoms of patients with severe depression. Depressed patients must use the device if the doctor has not used the conventional antidepressant for 4 consecutive treatments, and it is best to use the device together with antidepressant medication in order to control the symptoms in time.
The head of Cyberonic said that the upcoming retail price of devices for treating depression is around $15,000 per unit. With tens of millions of people worldwide suffering from depression, the company's head is optimistic that by the end of the century, the world market for this new type of depression treatment will have at least $1.2 billion in annual sales. ——Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association Network
