Our focus

Advancing brain health. Transforming lives.

Every day we go to work to develop new and improved treatments that can make a difference for people living with brain diseases. For decades, hard work and commitment have taken us far, but there is still a long way to go.

It’s estimated that brain disorders directly affect almost half of the world’s population.¹ At Lundbeck, we take a holistic view of brain health, and believe it needs to be promoted and prioritised. Within brain disorders, we focus our efforts on neurology and psychiatry. Neurological disorders alone are a leading cause of disability, and the second-leading cause of death globally (accounting for 9 million deaths per year).² In addition, the prevalence of mental health disorders has been estimated at 970 million people, causing 1 in 6 years lived with disability globally.³

“You don’t wear a cast or a sling with migraine, and the symptoms aren’t obvious to those who haven’t lived it. For those of us living with it, it’s exhausting to explain and defend, so we often suffer in silence.”

- Valerie Barogiannis, Lundbeck employee living with migraine
