Spravato: A Breakthrough Treatment for Depression

Spravato® (esketamine) is a groundbreaking treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Approved by the FDA, Spravato offers hope for individuals who have not experienced relief from traditional antidepressants. At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we are proud to offer Spravato therapy in a safe, controlled, and supportive environment.

Unlike oral antidepressants that can take weeks to work, Spravato acts rapidly, helping patients experience symptom relief much sooner. This innovative treatment is a powerful option for people who have exhausted other treatment methods without success.

How Does Spravato Work?

Spravato is a nasal spray form of esketamine, a derivative of ketamine. It works differently than conventional antidepressants by targeting glutamate receptors in the brain, which are believed to play a key role in mood regulation.

This unique mechanism of action helps:

• Improve communication between brain cells
• Restore synaptic connections
• Reduce symptoms of depression in as little as 24 hours

Spravato must be administered in a certified clinic like Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness under medical supervision due to its fast-acting nature and potential side effects.

Who Is Eligible for Spravato?

Spravato is specifically approved for adults who:

• Have treatment-resistant depression (failed at least two antidepressant treatments)
• Experience major depressive disorder with acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors

Before beginning treatment, our clinicians conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to determine if Spravato is appropriate and safe for your individual case.

What to Expect During Treatment

Spravato therapy is administered at Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness in a controlled outpatient setting:

1. Pre-treatment Evaluation
2. Patients are assessed before each session to ensure eligibility for the day’s dose.
3. In-Office Administration
4. The nasal spray is self-administered under medical supervision. Patients then remain in the office for about two hours of observation to monitor for any side effects.
5. Monitoring and Support
6. Throughout your treatment course, our team tracks your progress, adjusts care as needed, and offers support during every step.

Spravato is typically given twice a week for the first four weeks, followed by less frequent maintenance sessions depending on individual needs.
