Exhibit 99.1

Clearmind Medicine Advances Global IntellectualProperty Portfolio with Japanese Patent Filing for Innovative Psychedelic- Based Depression Treatment

Vancouver, Canada, May 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND) (“Clearmind” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel, non-hallucinogenic, second-generation, neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced the publication of a Japanese Patent Application for its proprietary compositions comprising 5-Methoxy-2-aminoindan (MEAI) for the treatment of depression.

This advancement strengthens Clearmind’s robust intellectual property portfolio, which already includes multiple granted patents and applications worldwide. MEAI, the company’s flagship non-hallucinogenic molecule, is designed to offer a safer, more accessible alternative to traditional antidepressants and emerging psychedelic-based therapies.

Depression remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Current treatments, primarily selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other conventional antidepressants, often come with limitations including delayed onset of action, side effects, and high rates of treatment resistance.

The global market for anxiety and depression treatments is experiencing steady growth. Estimates place the market size at approximately $16- 22.65 billion in 2025, with projections reaching $19–30 billion by 2030- 2031, driven by rising mental health awareness, increasing prevalence of disorders, and demand for innovative therapies. The broader behavioral and mental health market is significantly larger, valued at around $185 billion in 2025 and expected to approach $350 billion by 2035.

In Japan, mental health challenges are pronounced due to societal factors such as work-related stress. The country has approximately 3 million diagnosed cases of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Clearmind continues to expand its MEAI-based pipeline, with ongoing research into alcohol use disorder, metabolic disorders such as weight loss, and various other mental disorders. The company’s IP portfolio now spans multiple jurisdictions, reinforcing its position in the rapidly evolving neuroplastogen and mental health therapeutics space.
