What is Spravato? New Drug for Treatment-Resistant Depression | HealthyPlace

Is Spravato, aka esketamine, a “miracle drug” for those with treatment-resistant depression? Spravato is being described as a breakthrough depression medication because, up to this point, there haven’t been truly significant changes in depression medications for several decades. So imagine having treatment-resistant depression and there’s nothing around that really helps you. A person with major depression is diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression if they haven’t responded to adequate doses of two different antidepressants taken over a sufficient period of time, usually six weeks. The reality is that many with treatment-resistant depression have taken many types of antidepressants, and even add-on medications like antipsychotics, and found no relief. How many people are in this group? It’s estimated that one-third of all adults with major depression are treatment-resistant. Enter Spravato. Spravato is a ketamine-like medication taken via nasal spray. It was approved by the FDA in March 2019.
