World Mental Health Day
10 October is World Mental Health Day, aiming to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health. Globally, more than 1 billion people live with a mental health condition*, with anxiety and depression being the most common, according to the World Health Organization.
TheraCryf is honoured to be contributing to the potential treatment of mental disorders such as anxiety and addictive behaviour through its lead Ox-1 programme, a class-leading orexin-1 antagonist, targeting binge eating disorder and other substance use disorders.
TheraCryf's Chief Operating Officer, Dr Helen Kuhlman, discusses the potential of orexin-based treatments for addictive behaviours in her article 'The Promise of Orexin-1 Antagonists in Addiction Treatment', in the most recent edition of European Biopharmaceutical Review.
