Spravato® (Esketamine) Treatment

A Different Approach to Depression Treatment

When traditional antidepressants haven't provided the relief you need, it can be frustrating and discouraging. At Northbound Psychiatry, we understand that depression treatment isn't one-size-fits-all.

We offer Spravato® (esketamine) nasal spray, an FDA-approved treatment that works differently from traditional antidepressants and may provide another option for individuals struggling with depression.

What Is Spravato®?

Spravato® is a prescription nasal spray administered in a certified healthcare setting under medical supervision.

Unlike most traditional antidepressants, which primarily target serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine, Spravato® works on the brain's glutamate system.

Spravato® is FDA-approved for:

  • Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in adults who have not responded adequately to at least two antidepressant treatments.

  • Depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior, when used with an oral antidepressant.

Spravato® may be used alone or with an oral antidepressant for treatment-resistant depression.
