Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to take effect, Spravato works rapidly by targeting the NMDA receptor in the brain, helping to restore synaptic connections and improve mood.
