For many individuals, depression can endure despite trying various medications, which can undoubtedly be disheartening. However, Spravato® presents a promising alternative. By targeting the brain's glutamate system, it enhances neural connectivity and mood regulation, marking a significant advancement in our approach to treating depression.
What Is Spravato?
Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray administered in a certified medical setting under supervision.
It may be considered for individuals with treatment-resistant depression or certain forms of major depressive disorder.
