What is Spravato Therapy?
Spravato (esketamine) is a nasal spray medication used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression and those with MDD who have suicidal thoughts or actions. It works differently than traditional antidepressants and can provide relief within hours or days, rather than weeks or months.
How Does Spravato Work?
Spravato is thought to work by restoring synaptic connections in brain cells and promoting the growth of new ones. This can help improve mood and reduce depressive symptoms.
Who is Spravato Treatment for?
Spravato may be an option for adults with:
- Treatment-Resistant Depression: This means you’ve tried at least two different antidepressant medications without sufficient improvement.
- Major Depressive Disorder with Suicidal Thoughts or Actions: Spravato can provide rapid relief for those experiencing acute suicidal ideation.
What to Expect During Spravato Treatment?
Spravato is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional at a certified clinic like Revitalist. You will self-administer the nasal spray and then be monitored for at least two hours to observe for any side effects.

Patient Testimonials
I feel so honored and grateful to have been involved with the people at Revitalist. Eve was very helpful and Cara kept me feeling very comfortable. Chris helped me through some hard times and I’ll never forget it. With the help of therapy, I can see how effective ketamine can be in treatment for people in need of something different than what’s readily available. I highly recommend anyone dealing with depression, anxiety, or PTSD to contact a therapist and discuss ketamine as a treatment.
