Introducing Spravato®: A Breakthrough for Treatment-Resistant Depression

If traditional oral antidepressants haven’t provided the relief you need, you are not alone—and there is a new path forward. Christie’s Family Health is proud to offer Spravato® (esketamine), the first FDA-approved nasal spray specifically for adults struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

What is Spravato®?

Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato® works differently by targeting the glutamate system. This helps "rewire" neural connections in the brain that affect mood and emotional regulation.

Fast-Acting: While oral medications can take weeks to work, many patients experience symptom improvement within 24 hours.
Proven Results: Designed specifically for those who have tried at least two other antidepressants without success.
Supervised Care: To ensure your safety, Spravato® is administered right here in our office under the supervision of our medical team.

Frequently Asked Questions?

What is the difference between psychiatrist and a therapist?

Primary difference is medical training and treatment methods. Psychiatrist (doctor or mental health nurse practitioner) can perform evaluation, diagnosis, order blood work, and prescribe medications.

Therapist (LCSW or LPC) focus on evaluation of symptoms (current or past), provide intervention for symptom improvement (talk therapy and coping skills), and typically do not provide diagnosis or prescribe medication.

What is the difference between a "bad day" and a mental health condition?

Everyone experience temporary symptoms of sadness, anxiety, poor sleep, and racing thoughts due to a situation or event. These symptoms typically only last for that moment or one day and you are able to go back to feeling good the next day or even the same day.

A individual dealing with mental health conditions experience persistent, long-lasting symptoms that disrupt their daily life, making it difficult to work, sleep, eat, or maintain relationships. Remember "Mental Health Is How I Feel, Think, and Act".
