Safe & Effective Treatment

Treatment Overview

Breaking Through Chronic Depression

For many, traditional oral antidepressants simply aren't enough. When two or more medications have failed to provide relief, you may be suffering from Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). Spravato® (esketamine) offers a revolutionary new path forward.

Spravato is the first FDA-approved nasal spray for TRD. Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato targets the glutamate system to rapidly repair damaged neural connections and restore brain function.

" I've been dealing with depression and PTSD for years and Dr. Amin's TMS Therapy has honestly saved my life. I'm someone who does not respond well to depression medication, so TMS was a godsend for me. I went from crying for no reason almost every day to feeling more stable and even optimistic. Dr. Amin is really invested in my mental health and Charlie, the TMS technician, is very helpful in making the treatments go by quickly and swiftly.

★★★★★
" Before becoming a patient of Dr. Amin, I was experiencing persistent cognitive fog, chronic depression, and generalized anxiety that significantly impacted my ability to function day to day. Since implementing Dr. Amin's comprehensive recommendations, my cognitive clarity has returned, my mood has stabilized, and I now have the energy and confidence to manage daily tasks. Dr. Amin's thoughtful and integrative approach has been transformative — his attention to detail and commitment to addressing root causes rather than just symptoms has helped me reclaim my quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask about this treatment.

What does a Spravato treatment session look like?

You will self-administer the nasal spray in our office under the supervision of a healthcare provider. You'll then stay in a comfortable, private room for about two hours for monitoring while the medication takes effect.

Is Spravato the same as Ketamine?

Spravato (esketamine) is a chemical cousin of ketamine. It is FDA-approved specifically for depression and is administered through a nasal spray, whereas clinical ketamine is usually given via IV infusion.

Will I be able to drive after the session?

No. Because of potential sedation or dissociation, you must arrange for a ride home and should not drive or operate heavy machinery until the next day.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically, patients start with sessions twice a week for the first month, then transition to once a week for the second month, followed by a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs.
