What is Spravato treatment?
Spravato® is a treatment that provides transformative relief from depression symptoms. In a Spravato® therapy, a nasal spray form of ketamine (esketamine) is administered by certified clinical staff. Currently, it is the only FDA-approved ketamine therapy accessible to patients and is covered by most insurances.
It has shown to be one of the most promising modalities for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or actions. For those who have difficulty responding to other treatments like medication or therapy, Spravato® can have transformative effects and help patients break free from the cycle of depression.
How does Esketamine work?
Unlike conventional treatments like talk therapy, Esketamine therapy treats the root cause of depression symptoms, which happens on the brain's neuron level.
Esketamine is a nasal spray form of ketamine, an anesthetic that has been researched and used for many years to treat depression in clinical settings. Ketamine is a chemical that functions as an NMDA receptor antagonist that interacts with brain neurotransmitters. When ketamine is introduced into a patients' body, it works as a potent agent to increase the amount of glutamate between neurons, which then activates connections in the AMPA receptor. As a result, new neuronal growth and communication pathways are fostered, therefore creates and reconfigures brain's neuron firing patterns, making the transformation of negative thoughts possible.
