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.
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.
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.
