Plain answers about Spravato, from the team that gives it.
Each post answers one question patients ask us, checked by our medical director before it goes up.
Spravato for bipolar depression that hasn’t responded to treatment.
Spravato is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression: depression that hasn’t responded to at least two antidepressants. When the depressive episodes of bipolar disorder haven’t lifted, that’s exactly what they are, and Spravato can be part of the plan, alongside your mood stabilizer.
Spravato and PTSD: what the research shows so far.
Spravato isn’t approved for PTSD itself. But depression that hasn’t responded to treatment often comes with PTSD, and Spravato is approved for that depression. Here’s what small studies show, and what a session can feel like with trauma in your history.
Natural antidepressants: what actually has evidence behind it.
