About Esketamine Therapy
Innovative Care for Treatment-Resistant Depression
At Beach Counseling Center, we are proud to be the first practice in Virginia Beach to offer Spravato® (esketamine) therapy, reaffirming our commitment to cutting-edge treatments and compassionate care. Spravato® provides new hope for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or actions.
What is Esketamine?
Spravato® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray designed for adults with two challenging forms of depression:
Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD): For those who haven’t achieved relief after trying at least two oral antidepressants.
Major Depressive Disorder with Suicidal Ideation (MDSI): For adults experiencing severe depressive symptoms with suicidal thoughts or actions.
Unlike traditional antidepressants, Spravato® works quickly, often after one to two treatments, targeting the brain in unique ways to relieve symptoms and restore hope.
Why Choose Esketamine?
Studies show that remission rates drop significantly after trying multiple oral antidepressants. Spravato® (esketamine) offers an alternative for those seeking a different path to recovery. It is administered under medical supervision in our practice’s comfortable, controlled setting to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How Spravato® Works
Spravato® contains esketamine, which acts on specific receptors in the brain that promote faster relief of depressive symptoms. It is used in conjunction with your oral antidepressant, enhancing the overall treatment approach.
