About Axsome Therapeutics Inc

Axsome Therapeutics develops therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, focusing on conditions like major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, and Alzheimer's agitation.

This drug has shown positive results in clinical trials and has received special FDA status to speed up its approval process.
