If you've tried multiple antidepressants without success, Spravato (esketamine) may be the breakthrough treatment you've been searching for. Next Step Psychiatry is a certified Spravato treatment center conveniently located in Lilburn, serving all of Metro Atlanta.
What is Spravato?
Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray containing esketamine, a derivative of ketamine. It's specifically designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) — meaning depression that hasn't responded to at least two different antidepressants.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, many patients experience improvement within hours or days of their first Spravato treatment.
