SPRAVATO® is a non-invasive, easy-to-use nasal spray therapy administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. At Southern Mind and Wellness, we are committed to making this transformative treatment accessible and effective for those struggling with depression.
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) targets NMDA receptors in the brain, a mechanism not found in traditional antidepressants. By restoring chemical imbalances and promoting rapid symptom relief, SPRAVATO® can help patients experience improvements in mood and mental clarity in as little as 24 hours. Clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness in significantly reducing depressive symptoms, even for individuals who have not responded to multiple oral medications.
SPRAVATO® is designed for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, defined as a lack of response to at least two different oral antidepressants during the current depressive episode. If you’ve been searching for an alternative to traditional therapies, SPRAVATO® might be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
During your first visit, we’ll review your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals to determine if SPRAVATO® is the right option for you.
A tailored plan will be created to meet your unique needs, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process.
SPRAVATO® is self-administered under the guidance of a healthcare professional in a safe, welcoming environment. Each session includes:

Response Rate: Traditional antidepressants typically show a response rate of 40-60%, while SPRAVATO® (esketamine) has demonstrated response rates of up to 70% in clinical trials (Popova et al., 2019, American Journal of Psychiatry).
Time to Noticeable Effect: Traditional antidepressants often take 4-6 weeks for noticeable improvements, whereas patients using SPRAVATO® (esketamine) may experience relief within 24 hours, as observed in clinical trials (BMC Psychiatry, 2022).
Sustained Remission Rate: Traditional antidepressants achieve sustained remission rates of approximately 15-30%, but SPRAVATO® has shown remission rates as high as 80% when combined with an oral antidepressant (Wilkinson et al., 2018, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery).
