Spravato (Esketamine) Treatment for Depression
Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray used for adults with treatment-resistant depression, especially when traditional antidepressants have not been effective.

Treatment is administered in a certified medical setting under supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
