If you’ve been living with depression that doesn’t respond to traditional treatments, you’re not alone—and there is hope. At Mind Body & Soul Mental Health & Wellness, we are proud to offer Spravato® treatment in Decatur for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This innovative therapy works differently from standard antidepressants, offering faster relief for those who need it most.
Spravato® is a prescription nasal spray approved by the FDA for use alongside an oral antidepressant. Unlike traditional antidepressants that often take weeks to work, many patients experience improvements in mood and emotional well-being within hours or days of starting Spravato®.
Spravato® targets a brain receptor called NMDA, which is part of the glutamate system—a key pathway that helps regulate mood, learning, and memory. By temporarily blocking this receptor, Spravato® encourages the brain to rebuild and rewire itself. This process boosts levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the growth and connection of brain cells.
This unique mechanism helps restore the brain’s natural ability to manage emotions and adapt to stress. For patients in Decatur who haven’t responded to other antidepressants, Spravato® offers a different path to recovery—one that works at the root level of how the brain processes mood and resilience.
Spravato® is not a take-home medication. Due to its powerful effects and potential side effects like drowsiness or dissociation, it must be administered under medical supervision at a REMS-certified treatment center, such as Mind Body & Soul Mental Health & Wellness.
Here’s what your treatment experience will look like:
