Spravato, known medically as esketamine, offers a breakthrough in the treatment of severe depression, particularly for those who haven’t found relief with traditional methods. At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine in Newport Beach, CA, we provide Spravato treatment as part of our comprehensive approach to mental health and wellness.
Spravato® is an innovative nasal spray that targets the NMDA receptors in the brain, which are crucial for learning and memory. Unlike conventional antidepressants that focus on serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine, Spravato works by enhancing brain neuroplasticity. This process helps create new neural pathways, allowing individuals to break free from negative thought and behavior patterns and develop healthier ones.
One of the significant advantages of Spravato® is its rapid action, often providing relief from depressive symptoms within hours to days, a much faster response compared to the weeks or months typically required for other antidepressants.
Spravato®’s active ingredient, esketamine, is derived from ketamine, an anesthetic that has been used in medicine since the 1960s. Over the decades, research into ketamine’s therapeutic potential in mental health led to the development of Spravato® as a specialized treatment for depression. While closely related, esketamine and ketamine are not identical; Spravato® has been specifically formulated and approved for depressive disorders to maximize its efficacy and safety.
