Treatment Resistant Depression – FDA Approved Treatment with Spravato
Treatment-resistant depression occurs when individuals do not experience adequate improvement from at least two traditional antidepressant medications. At Private Mental Health Group LLC, we offer FDA-approved treatment using intranasal esketamine (Spravato) for adults who qualify. This advanced therapy targets different receptors in the brain than standard antidepressants, providing new hope and faster relief for those who continue to struggle with persistent depressive symptoms.
Request an AppointmentSpravato is administered as a nasal spray in our clinic under direct medical supervision. The medication is absorbed quickly and begins affecting brain activity within hours, helping restore mood-related neurotransmitter balance and improve communication between nerve cells. Many patients experience a reduction in depressive symptoms sooner than they would from traditional options alone.
Our team ensures a safe and supportive experience throughout each session. After receiving Spravato, patients remain in a private observation area for approximately two hours while providers monitor progress and comfort. Treatment plans are individualized and often combined with psychotherapy or ongoing medication management to support sustained mental health improvement.
If you have not found relief with previous antidepressants, Spravato therapy may be an effective next step.
