WHAT IS SPRAVATO?

Spravato (esketamine) is a groundbreaking treatment designed for adults who have not found relief through traditional antidepressant treatments. While standard antidepressants can take several weeks to show results, Spravato works much faster, often providing symptom relief within hours to days. This rapid response makes Spravato a vital option for individuals dealing with severe depression.

HOW DOES SPRAVATO WORK?

If you're struggling with depression and haven’t found relief with other treatments, Spravato might be a great next step to consider.

Spravato is a unique, fast-acting treatment designed to help improve mood in people facing tough-to-treat depression. Its active ingredient, esketamine, works differently from traditional antidepressants.

Spravato specifically targets certain receptors in the brain, known as NMDA receptors, which play a big role in how we feel and think.

When Spravato activates these receptors, it increases levels of a brain chemical called glutamate. Glutamate acts as a “messenger,” helping brain cells communicate and even form new connections. This process, called synaptogenesis, is key to helping the brain adapt and respond more positively to life’s challenges.

By building these new pathways, Spravato helps relieve symptoms of depression and improves overall mood stability, often within hours or days.

What to Expect During

Spravato Treatment

1. Initial Consultation - Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our medical team will carefully review your mental health history, medications, and past treatments to determine if Spravato is the right option for you.

2. Treatment Sessions - Spravato is self-administered by the patient in our comfortable, private treatment rooms under the supervision of our clinical team. You’ll be supported throughout the process to ensure your safety and comfort.

3. Monitoring & Follow-Up - Following each session, patients remain at our center for at least two hours for observation. This allows us to monitor for any potential side effects, such as increased blood pressure, dissociation, or sedation. Regular follow-up appointments help us assess treatment progress and make any necessary adjustments.

4. Ongoing Care - The typical course of Spravato treatment starts with two sessions per week for the first month, followed by once-weekly sessions for the next month. After this initial period, the frequency of sessions is gradually reduced, depending on your individual progress and needs.
