Understanding Spravato Treatment
Spravato is a nasal spray containing esketamine. It works quickly to ease symptoms of treatment resistant depression. The Food and Drug Administration approved Spravato for adults who have not found relief from other antidepressants.
Treatment happens in our clinic under medical supervision. You receive the spray during a scheduled session. Then you rest while our staff monitors your response. Most people notice improvement within hours or days. Learn more about Spravato esketamine therapy and how it could help you.
Spravato works differently than traditional antidepressants. It targets glutamate pathways in the brain. This action may help rebuild neural connections affected by depression. The National Institute of Mental Health continues to study these mechanisms to improve patient care.
Exploring NeuroStar TMS Therapy
NeuroStar TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate mood regulating brain regions. It is non invasive and does not require anesthesia. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system delivers targeted treatment while you sit comfortably in our office.
Sessions last about twenty minutes. You can return to normal activities right after. Most patients complete a course of treatment over several weeks. Discover what to expect during your NeuroStar TMS visit.
TMS is ideal for people who prefer a drug free approach. It has minimal side effects and no systemic impact on the body. Research published in PubMed supports its safety and efficacy for depression relief.
Comparing Your Options
Both Spravato and TMS help when other treatments fall short. Yet they differ in method, timeline, and experience. Spravato may bring faster relief for some. TMS offers a gradual, medication free path for others.
Your medical history matters. So does your lifestyle and personal preferences. Our clinicians review your full picture before recommending a path. We believe informed patients make confident choices.
Access also plays a role. We provide in person treatments in Laurel MD and Alexandria VA. For initial consultations, we offer telehealth evaluations across Laurel MD, Alexandria VA, and Washington D.C. This flexibility helps you start care without delay.
