How SPRAVATO Works

If you have been looking for a way to alleviate treatment-resistant depression (TRD), you may be interested in learning more about Spravato. At Holiner Psychiatric Group, we understand that dealing with the ongoing burden of depression can be both emotionally and physically exhausting. Once you understand how SPRAVATO works, you can feel empowered to make an informed decision about your mental health care. Whether you are looking for a supplement to your current antidepressant or an entirely new solution, we can help you determine if Spravato for TRD is right for you.

Understanding Treatment-Resistant Depression

Treatment-resistant depression is not a formal diagnosis by itself. Instead, it is a term that is used if you do not experience sufficient relief after trying two or more antidepressant medications, typically alongside standard therapies like counseling. While there are many reasons you may experience this resistance, ranging from genetic predispositions to co-existing conditions, continuing to explore different treatments, such as Spravato, is vital to finding an effective solution. During an initial consultation, we can explain how SPRAVATO treatment works and address any concerns you may have.

The Science Behind SPRAVATO Therapy

SPRAVATO is a drug that belongs to a class of medications that interact with the glutamate receptors in your brain. Glutamate is a key neurotransmitter linked to your ability to learn, remember, and regulate your mood. Unlike many oral antidepressants that work solely on increasing serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, Spravato supports your glutamate system to help improve your mood through a different mechanism. This distinct approach often shows promise in our patients who have tried multiple drugs with little success. 

Ideal Candidates for SPRAVATO

You may be a good candidate for SPRAVATO nasal spray if you are an adult who is suffering from treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and are looking for a new, alternative solution. Spravato may also be a good option for you if you have been coping with major depressive disorder (MDD) accompanied by suicidal thoughts or actions.

Note that certain medical conditions or histories of mental health concerns might limit your use of Spravato. Our team will review your case thoroughly to ensure that your therapy is appropriate and beneficial for your specific situation.

Your SPRAVATO Treatment Experience

When you opt for esketamine treatment at Holiner Psychiatric Group, one of our qualified professionals will administer your nasal spray in a controlled environment. You will remain under observation briefly afterward to ensure you are not experiencing any serious side effects. Each session will build on the previous one, supporting gradual improvement in your mood and overall well-being.

Since SPRAVATO is specifically designed to work in conjunction with traditional medications, you may continue with your existing antidepressant.

The Benefits of SPRAVATO

Your SPRAVATO treatment may be part of a multi-layered approach that is designed to target your depressive symptoms and work to provide you enhanced relief. Some key benefits include the following:

  • Fast relief of depressive symptoms
  • Works well alongside standard oral medications
  • Results even when multiple antidepressants have not worked
  • Specifically targets neural receptors linked to mood regulation

While every person is different, the potential benefits can be life-changing for those seeking new ways to manage ongoing symptoms.
