This month's Main Story reviews the market for psychiatric medications. This sector is one of the largest areas of drug sales and is growing rapidly as medicating moods becomes more popular. In part one of a multi-issue discussion, we focus on anti-psychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia and drugs used to treat bipolar disorder. We will focus on major depression and anxiety disorders in a subsequent publication.
