Intranasal Ketamine Therapy (Spravato)
At Empowering Psychiatry, we offer Spravato (esketamine), an FDA-approved intranasal ketamine therapy for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. This innovative treatment provides hope for those who haven’t experienced relief from traditional antidepressants or therapy.
What is Spravato?
Spravato is a groundbreaking medication derived from ketamine, designed to target depression differently than standard treatments. Administered via a nasal spray in a controlled clinical setting, it works by rapidly influencing brain pathways to improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.
Who Can Benefit from Spravato?
Spravato is specifically for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) who haven’t responded to at least two previous antidepressant treatments. It’s particularly effective for individuals experiencing persistent, debilitating depression that has resisted other options.
