Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray medication used for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to work, Spravato targets glutamate receptors in the brain, helping to rapidly improve mood and relieve symptoms.

Why Use Spravato?

Spravato is an innovative option for individuals who have not found relief with standard antidepressants. Administered under medical supervision, it offers a new approach to managing severe depression, especially when other treatments have been ineffective.

Benefits of Spravato:

✅ Fast-acting relief – Many patients experience improvement in symptoms within hours to days.
✅ Targets depression differently – Works on the glutamatergic system, unlike traditional SSRIs/SNRIs.
✅ Reduces suicidal thoughts – Can provide rapid stabilization in crisis situations.
✅ Used alongside oral antidepressants – Enhances effectiveness when combined with standard therapy.
