Esketamine is a drug that comes from the anesthetic ketamine, which has been used to treat depression for a long time. Esketamine is a stronger form of ketamine and was approved by the FDA in March 2019. Esketamine treatments come in the form of a nasal spray called Spravato.
This spray is used with other medicines to treat depression that is hard to treat (called treatment-resistant depression). Spravato is a controlled substance, so it must be administered by a licensed healthcare professional in a certified medical setting. Most patients receive the treatment in a clinic and go home same day.
Esketamine works differently than antidepressants. It helps to raise the levels of certain chemicals, like dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, that occur naturally in the brain. It also increases the levels of glutamate, which is the most common chemical messenger in the brain.
This means that esketamine can have a bigger effect on brain cells with just one dose compared to antidepressants. Most patients show improvement with Esketamine (Spravato) after eight treatments. Patients who receive Esketamine versus conventional medication are more likely to experience a full remission in 6 months.

I cannot thank the Nurmi Health enough for their help! The psychiatrist is caring and really took the time to listen to me. He explained everything, from the meds to the therapy, in basic terms. The online appointments were super easy to use too. With their help, I was able to manage my anxiety and depression without being loaded up on meds. They gave me tools to use in my everyday life, which I really appreciate. Finally, I found a place that understands me and is accessible. So much gratitude!
I wanted to take a moment to share my exceptional experience with the phenomenal team. The providers took the effort to fully explain any prescribed treatments. I have found comfort in addressing the root causes rather than solely relying on medication. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone
I am so grateful for. After struggling with panic attacks for years without much success from previous psychiatrists. The psychiatrist's approachable demeanor made it easy for me to open up about what was going on mentally during those moments when everything felt overwhelming; together we developed strategies tailored specifically towards managing anxiety triggers effectively through therapy sessions and medication management
