If you’ve been living with depression and haven’t found relief from traditional antidepressants, you’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not without options.

Spravato® (esketamine) is a breakthrough treatment that’s changing lives by offering rapid, science-backed relief for adults with treatment-resistant depression or major depressive disorder (MDD) accompanied by suicidal thoughts. Unlike standard medications that can take weeks to work, Spravato® works differently—and more quickly—by targeting brain pathways involved in mood and emotional regulation.

What Makes Spravato® Different?

Spravato® is an intranasal medication derived from ketamine, approved by the FDA for use in adults who haven’t responded to at least two other antidepressants. Administered in a controlled medical setting, it’s used in combination with an oral antidepressant, allowing patients to benefit from two mechanisms of action that can work together for faster and longer-lasting results.

Key Benefits of Spravato® Treatment

Fast-Acting Relief

One of the most compelling benefits of Spravato® is its speed. Many patients begin to feel the effects within 24 to 48 hours, making it a potential lifeline for individuals dealing with suicidal ideation or intense depressive symptoms.

Effective When Other Medications Fail

Spravato® is specifically indicated for treatment-resistant depression—a condition where other medications haven’t worked. For many, it opens a new door after years of frustration and stagnation.

Enhanced Brain Connectivity

Early research shows Spravato® may help increase neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new connections. This is a promising avenue for helping patients rebuild healthier thought patterns and emotional responses.

Medically Supervised & Safe

Each session is conducted under the care of licensed medical professionals, ensuring your safety and well-being from start to finish. You'll be monitored for two hours post-dose, and your care team will assess your response and progress regularly.

Integration into Daily Life

While the initial treatment period involves more frequent visits, many patients find that once stabilized, Spravato becomes a manageable part of their routine,with results that make it well worth the commitment.
