Spravato®, or esketamine, is an FDA-approved nasal spray treatment for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression. This revolutionary medication works by changing brain chemistry rapidly to relieve symptoms like gloominess, despondency, and apathy immediately.
Spravato® is an innovative treatment option that works in tandem with oral antidepressants and must be administered by a healthcare provider. Research shows that it can yield positive results for those who have not seen the success they are hoping for when relying on traditional antidepressant medications or therapy alone.
Spravato® is not a cure for depression, but it can bring substantial relief from symptoms and assist clients in improving their quality of life. If you or someone close to you is struggling with depression, we urge you to learn more about Spravato® and the other mental health treatment services offered at Harmony. Our team of psychiatric and healthcare professionals is here to guide and support you every step of the way on your recovery journey.
What Is Spravato® Depression Treatment?
At Harmony, A Member of Transformations Care Network, we know that combining multiple interventions is essential to providing the most beneficial results for our clients. We are proud to offer Spravato®, a revolutionary treatment opportunity for those enduring depression symptoms.
Spravato® is a life-changing nasal spray treatment for depression that has been resistant to other types of treatment. Containing esketamine, this groundbreaking therapy works by resetting the neural pathways in the brain and boosting norepinephrine and serotonin levels, two neurotransmitters that are known to combat depression. This innovative approach can produce faster relief than conventional oral antidepressants.
For people who have tried other depression treatments without relief, Spravato® may be a solution. However, it’s important to understand that this drug should be used as part of a complete recovery plan in tandem with standard protocols and can’t replace the need for talk therapy or other lifestyle changes.
