Timely Psychiatry
When you’ve tried several antidepressants and still aren’t feeling better, it can be discouraging. We see this often. Timely Psychiatry provides Spravato treatment to those who haven’t found relief from traditional treatments.
Spravato treatment is designed for people suffering from treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
Spravato is a nasal spray containing esketamine, which is related to ketamine. It’s FDA-approved for people whose depression hasn’t responded to other treatments.
What makes it different is how quickly some people notice changes. Traditional antidepressants might take weeks to show effects, but Spravato can work faster for some patients.
Taking it together with an oral antidepressant offers new hope to those with treatment-resistant depression.
Spravato may be appropriate if you:
Our psychiatric team will assess you to decide if you are a candidate for Spravato.
How is Spravato Administered?
Spravato treatment is administered in-office at our Spravato clinic under the supervision of our trained medical staff.
You’ll come to our office for treatment. You use the nasal spray yourself while our staff is there with you, then stay for a couple of hours afterward so we can make sure you’re feeling okay.
A comprehensive psychiatric assessment to determine eligibility.
Spravato is administered twice a week for the first 4 weeks, then reduced to once weekly or biweekly, depending on your response.
Every session has a 2-hour observation period to make sure all is well and patients are comfortable.
We observe your progress and change your treatment if it is required.
The honest answer is that everyone experiences it a bit differently. Some feel relaxed or slightly disconnected during treatment.
Others might feel drowsy or have mild nausea. Most describe it as manageable, and remember—we’re monitoring you the whole time.
The effects peak within the first hour and fade by the time you’re ready to leave. Many people find the observation period actually quite peaceful.
When searching for a “Spravato or esketamine clinic near me,” it’s important to check that the staff includes qualified professionals with knowledge about treatment-resistant depression.
