Spravato® (Esketamine) Treatment
When Depression Doesn't Respond, Explore Another Possibility
Depression can become especially difficult when medications and other treatments haven’t brought the improvement you expected. Spravato® (esketamine) provides an alternative treatment option for eligible adults experiencing treatment-resistant depression.
At ThryveBright Mental Health Services, we combine thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, individualized treatment planning, and ongoing clinical support to help you explore whether Spravato® may be appropriate for your mental health needs.
A Different Approach to Depression Care
Not every person responds to depression treatment in the same way.
If you’ve already tried antidepressant treatments without achieving adequate improvement, your provider may discuss additional options with you. Spravato® uses esketamine, a medication that works through a different mechanism than many commonly prescribed antidepressants.
Our goal is not simply to introduce another treatment. It’s to understand your experience and determine whether this approach fits your overall care plan.
Could Spravato® Be an Option for You?
Every treatment decision begins with understanding the individual.
During your evaluation, our psychiatric team considers factors such as:
- Your current depressive symptoms
- Previous medications and treatments
- Your response to past treatments
- Current medications and medical history
- Your treatment goals
- Your overall health and clinical needs
Based on your evaluation, your provider can explain whether Spravato® may be an appropriate option.
What Makes Spravato® Different?
An Alternative Treatment Approach
Spravato® offers a different approach for eligible adults whose depression has not responded adequately to traditional treatments.
Designed for Specific Clinical Needs
Treatment is considered based on your individual diagnosis, treatment history, and overall clinical situation.
Professional Observation
Spravato® treatment requires appropriate clinical supervision and monitoring during administration.
Part of Comprehensive Care
Your treatment can be considered alongside other elements of your broader psychiatric care plan.
What Should You Know Before Treatment?
Spravato® is a prescription treatment that requires specific administration and monitoring procedures.
Some people may experience temporary effects such as:
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Increased blood pressure
- Nausea
- Changes in perception
- Feeling disconnected from surroundings
Your provider will review the potential risks and benefits with you before treatment.
Because Spravato® can temporarily affect alertness and coordination, you’ll need to follow your provider’s instructions regarding transportation and activities after treatment.

Treatment Doesn’t Have to Be One-Dimensional
Depression can affect sleep, relationships, work, motivation, concentration, and everyday life.

Depending on your individual needs, your psychiatric care may include:
Medication management
Psychiatric follow-up
Symptom monitoring
Treatment planning
Lifestyle and wellness discussions
Ongoing mental health support
Your provider will determine which approaches are appropriate for you.
