Unlocking Hope with Spravato®: A Breakthrough Treatment for Depression and Beyond

Mental health conditions like treatment-resistant depression (TRD), anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders affect millions of people, often making daily life feel overwhelming. If you’ve tried traditional medications and therapy without relief, you’re not alone. At Potomac Shores Mental Health & Wellness, we are committed to providing innovative and effective treatment options, including Spravato® (esketamine) therapy. This FDA-approved medication is changing the way we treat mental health disorders by offering rapid symptom relief for those who need it most.

What is Spravato®?

Spravato® is a revolutionary nasal spray medication designed to treat treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to work, Spravato® acts quickly by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, restoring neural connections and improving mood in hours or days.

Beyond Depression: Conditions Treated with Spravato®

While Spravato® is FDA-approved for depression, ongoing research suggests it may also help with: ✔ Anxiety Disorders
✔ Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
✔ Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
✔ Bipolar Depression
✔ Severe Mood Disorders

At Potomac Shores Mental Health & Wellness, we assess each patient individually to determine if Spravato® is the right option for them.

Who is a Candidate for Spravato®?

Spravato® may be right for you if you:

• Have treatment-resistant depression (failed at least two different antidepressants)

• Experience major depression with suicidal thoughts or behaviors

• Suffer from chronic anxiety, PTSD, or OCD that hasn’t responded to therapy

• Have been diagnosed with bipolar depression or severe mood disorders

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team at Potomac Shores Mental Health & Wellness can help you explore your options.

How Spravato® Works

Unlike traditional antidepressants that focus on serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, Spravato® targets NMDA receptors, enhancing brain plasticity and communication. This leads to faster symptom relief and improved mental health over time.

What to Expect During Treatment

✔ In-Clinic Administration: Spravato® must be taken in a certified medical facility under supervision.
✔ Observation Period: After taking the nasal spray, you’ll stay in our office for at least two hours for monitoring.
✔ Customized Treatment Plan: Treatments typically start twice a week for the first month, with gradual tapering based on your needs.
