HackMDDiscover the Benefits of Spravato for Treatment-Resistant Depression
If you’ve been struggling with depression that doesn’t respond to traditional treatments, you’re not alone. Many individuals find that standard antidepressants and therapy don’t provide the relief they need. Fortunately, Spravato is offering new hope. At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we proudly provide Spravato as an innovative, FDA-approved option for individuals with treatment-resistant depression.
What is Spravato?
Spravato (esketamine) is a prescription nasal spray derived from ketamine, a well-known anesthetic with fast-acting antidepressant effects. Unlike traditional oral antidepressants that can take weeks to work, Spravato works quickly—often showing improvements in mood within hours or days.
It is approved for adults who have not responded well to at least two other antidepressant medications. Administered under the supervision of a healthcare provider in a certified treatment center like Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, Spravato is used alongside an oral antidepressant to enhance its effectiveness.
How Spravato Works
Spravato targets the brain’s glutamate system, a different mechanism than traditional antidepressants which typically act on serotonin or norepinephrine. By enhancing glutamate transmission, Spravato helps promote the growth of new neural connections, improving brain function and alleviating symptoms of depression.
This unique mechanism not only helps reduce feelings of sadness and hopelessness but also improves motivation, energy levels, and overall mental well-being—especially in those who haven’t found success with other treatments.
The Spravato Treatment Process
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, your Spravato journey begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation to ensure you’re a good candidate for the treatment. Once approved, treatments are scheduled twice weekly for the first month, then gradually reduced based on your response.
Each session involves:
Administration of Spravato nasal spray in a calm, supervised environment
Monitoring for about two hours for any side effects
A safe and supportive space for recovery before discharge
Our experienced team ensures you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
