Abstract

In recent years, it is common for a single drug to be developed for multiple diseases almost simultaneously, e.g., pimavanserin and psilocybin. Although there was gloomy news for the field of neuropsychopharmacology, such as withdrawal of the world's leading mega-pharmaceutical companies from the development of CNS drugs, drugs based on novel mechanisms of action have been investigated. This is a new dawn in the field of clinical psychopharmacology.
