What Is Spravato®?
Spravato® (esketamine) is a prescription medication that is used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for the treatment of adults with treatment-resistant depression. This means that individuals who have not responded to at least two other antidepressant treatments may benefit from Spravato®.
One of the most unique aspects of Spravato® is that it works differently than traditional antidepressants. While other medications may take weeks or even months to start working, Spravato® can provide relief in just a matter of hours. This quick relief can be life-changing for individuals who have been struggling with treatment-resistant depression for years.
It’s always used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes ongoing therapy. This combination approach can provide a more holistic and effective treatment solution for individuals battling depression.
Benefits of Spravato® Treatment
Just some of the benefits of Spravato® treatment include:
- Rapid relief – As mentioned, Spravato® can provide relief in just a few hours, making it ideal for individuals who need immediate help managing their depression.
- Improved mood – Along with providing quick relief, many individuals notice an improvement in their overall mood and sense of well-being after undergoing Spravato® treatment.
- Reduction in suicidal thoughts – For those struggling with depression, persistent suicidal thoughts can be a constant struggle. Spravato® has been shown to help reduce these thoughts and improve overall mental health.
