The rising number of depression cases is anticipated to boost the growth of the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) market in the future. Depression, a mental health disorder, is marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as changes in appetite or sleep patterns. Several factors, including societal pressures, economic stressors, genetic predispositions, trauma, and limited access to mental health resources and support, contribute to the increasing prevalence of depression. CBT is effective in treating depression by helping individuals identify and alter negative thought patterns and behaviors. For example, in October 2021, Boston University reported that the rate of depression among adults in the United States tripled during the early months of the global coronavirus pandemic, rising from 8.5% before the pandemic to 27.8% in 2021, and further increased to 32.8%, affecting one in every three American adults. Consequently, the growing incidence of depression fuels the expansion of the CBT market.
