This market has faced challenges, primarily in developing newer treatments as well as developing appropriate support systems for patients. Significant impediment to expanding the market of post-traumatic stress disease treatment is the severity of a post-traumatic stress disorder, which is difficult to assess in an early stage and cost of therapy is high too. Paramount to a death or permanent disability, patients with persistent PTSD often adapt their routines to avoid triggers and situations that might re- trigger the trauma. This leads to disruption in daily life which can negatively affect patients' quality of life, productivity, relationships and even ability to function at work or school.Therefore, there is a pressing need to design and deploy minimally invasive therapies which can effectively reduce initial vulnerability to stress-related complications in populations who have sustained severe injury or developed chronic pain syndromes following exposure to combat risk or natural disasters.

North America has been at the forefront of Post- traumatic stress disorder therapeutics market. The region's dominance was owed to presence of prominent players in the region, as well as the rapid approval of drugs.
