Central Nervous System
Every day, we work toward realizing our vision: health for every mind. In addition to pioneering treatments for people living with central nervous system conditions, we believe in advocating, educating, and collaborating to support the mental and neurological health of the communities we serve.

We Believe In Health For Every Mind
At Otsuka, we hold a deep respect for the value of every mind. We believe that the human mind is infinitely valuable, fostering imagination, intelligence, perception, and so much more. By recognizing this value, we have the power to change the trajectory of people’s lives. This is why we will not rest until mental illnesses and brain diseases are approached with the same priority and urgency as our physical health and recognized as chronic diseases that warrant early, equitable, and accessible intervention.
Through products, programs, policies, and advocacy, Otsuka-people will defy any limitation that stands in their way until every mind is valued. This commitment extends to those who care for people living with mental illnesses and other brain conditions. We are dedicated to caring for those who care for our patients—standing with them, the way they stand with their loved ones—and offering the tools they need for the health of others and themselves.
Pillars Of Commitment & Support
Diverse Treatment Portfolio
We provide best-in-class treatments for patients with serious mental illnesses (SMIs), including major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
Addressing Unmet Needs
Our dedication to patients living with mental illness drives us to explore new frontiers in treatment and expand our strong history of collaborations to bring innovative therapies to market. We invest in pioneering treatments for areas of unmet need, including the first-and-only therapy for patients experiencing agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.
Science-Driven Innovation
Using industry-leading science, meticulous drug development, and unmatched clinical development expertise, we will continue to embrace unconventional thinking to achieve significant scientific breakthroughs. This includes forging a scientific path of excellence in developing psychedelic-inspired compounds, including novel serotonergic agonists.
Caregiver Commitment
Otsuka is dedicated to caring for caregivers. As we work to understand and share the stories of caregivers and support them on their journeys, we will continue advocating and calling for industry changes to improve their and their loved ones’ quality of life.
