Spravato Treatments
Spravato for The Treatment of Major Depression
Over 16 million people in the United States have depression. Patients with MDD may be unable to work, maintain relationships, attend to self-care, and in the most severe cases may become hospitalized or attempt or commit suicide.
Up to 33% of people with depression don’t respond to conventional antidepressants. SPRAVATO® (Esketamine) is a groundbreaking therapy that can provide relief from major depression within hours.
This is unlike many other depression medications, which can take weeks to start working. Spravato may also help reduce suicidal ideation within 24 hours of use.
It’s a nasal spray medication given with a prescription and taken with an oral antidepressant to improve the symptoms of depression in adults who have treatment-resistant depression. Spravato is not approved for use in children.
Spravato for Insomnia and PTSD
Other research suggests that Spravato therapy may be able to help treat insomnia. A lack of sleep can play a role in depression and other mood disorders. Studies also suggest that Esketamine may be able to help lower PTSD symptoms.
Testimonial About Spravato Treatments
“Over the past 18 months I have struggled with serious and often debilitating depression and anxiety, something I had never experienced previously. I tried a lot of things—improving my sleep habits, exercising, taking “self-care/me-time,” antidepressants— and they all helped, but they weren’t enough. I had better days, but I never felt truly back to my old self. That’s when my wife said it was time to try ketamine treatment.
“From the very first moment I walked in the door (and every moment since then), Anne and the team at Promise Medical made me feel welcome and comfortable. They made sure all my questions were answered and any concerns addressed. The team has always made me feel like a bit of a V.I.P., even during this COVID-19 situation, which just seems to be their way of doing business.
“The ketamine treatment has changed my life. For the first time in a long time, I finally feel like my old self again. I once again have energy, resilience, and capacity to handle stressful situations without it spiraling into anxiety and depression. It’s incredible. I can’t thank Anne Vincent and the rest of the Promise Medical team enough for helping me restore my old self.”
