SPRAVATO® Treatment for Depression
When Standard Treatments Haven't Been Enough
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression and certain severe depressive episodes. Offered in a calm, private clinical setting, SPRAVATO® provides a medically supervised option for individuals who continue to struggle despite traditional antidepressant therapy.
At Resolute, we combine advanced psychiatric care with a discreet, patient-centered experience — because hope should feel both accessible and dignified.
You Are Not Out of Options
If you've tried multiple antidepressants and still feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected, SPRAVATO® may offer a new path forward.
Many patients pursue SPRAVATO® because they are:
- Tired of cycling through medications without meaningful relief
- Struggling with persistent depression despite therapy and medication
- Seeking a treatment that works differently than standard antidepressants
You are not failing treatment — the treatment may not have been right for you.
What Is SPRAVATO®?
SPRAVATO® is a prescription esketamine nasal spray, administered in-clinic under medical supervision and used alongside an oral antidepressant.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin or norepinephrine, SPRAVATO® works through glutamate pathways, offering a distinct mechanism of action for depression that has not responded to standard care.
SPRAVATO® is not a take-home medication and is only available through certified healthcare providers.
What Does SPRAVATO® Treat?
SPRAVATO® is FDA-approved for adults with:
- Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)
Depression that has not adequately improved after trying two or more antidepressants at appropriate doses and duration. - Major Depressive Disorder with acute suicidal ideation or behavior
Used in combination with an oral antidepressant as part of urgent psychiatric care.
Why Patients Choose SPRAVATO®
- FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression
- Different mechanism than traditional antidepressants
- Administered in a controlled medical environment
- Structured treatment with close monitoring
- May provide symptom relief when other treatments have failed
Individual results vary, and our clinicians carefully assess whether this treatment aligns with your needs and medical history.
