Why Sage Therapeutics CEO Jeff Jonas believes its breakthrough drug Zulresso is not only a big win for postpartum depression sufferers but also the entire mental health community
"I'm hoping Zulresso will be the game changer in that people will now see that postpartum is a medical condition that can, and must, be treated," he said.
"The challenge of what we are trying to achieve … is the notion of how can you change the way people think about mental health. If you think about psychiatry in general, it's one of the only areas of medicine where alternative therapies are accepted," he says. If you walked into the doctor's office with diabetes, no one's going to argue if you should have nutritional counseling or insulin. You're going to get the medicine. But in depression, people will say, 'Maybe we don't need medicine. Maybe we should wait."In postpartum depression, this is not your fault," Jonas said. "You have an imbalance, and we can correct it. So the goal for us is to make something that gets people better, gets them back to work.
