What Is Spravato?
Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray medication that represents a major breakthrough in depression treatment. Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin or dopamine and can take 4-8 weeks to work, Spravato works through a different mechanism—targeting glutamate receptors in the brain to rapidly restore neural connections.
