Spravato

When Depression Medications Fall Short, Relief Is Still Possible

If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you’ve tried everything with little to no relief, we offer a science-backed treatment option at our clinic in Palo Alto, CA. SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. That means it’s for people who have tried at least two antidepressants but still struggle with depressive symptoms. What makes SPRAVATO® different from typical medications is the way it works. SPRAVATO® targets the brain in a completely new way. It helps your brain create new connections and pathways, which can lead to lasting changes in how you feel. For many of our patients, this has resulted in significant improvements in their mood and overall well-being. Over 90,000 people in the U.S. have already been treated with SPRAVATO®, and many have experienced life-changing results. Dr. Ghoreishi was the first provider to offer Spravato in our region and is considered a top knowledge expert on clinical selection and clinical application.
