Spravato for depression treatment has become a more common way to access the benefits of ketamine for mental health. The esketamine nasal spray is a brand-name prescription medication that is prescribed for adults with the following conditions:
- Treatment-resistant depression (TRD): TRD is depression that hasn’t improved even after a patient has tried two or more antidepressant medications. TRD is diagnosed only when treatment includes different classes of medication used for a reasonable amount of time without showing any improvements in moods or experiencing unsatisfactory results (such as intolerable side effects).
- Major depressive disorder (MDD): MDD is defined by persistent sadness or irritability. It is also commonly referred to as clinical depression. MDD is the most common mental health condition in the United States.
Spravato is used together with another antidepressant medication that is taken orally to treat TRD and MDD.
