Depression is a pervasive and challenging condition, affecting more than 16 million adults in the United States each year. For many, standard treatments provide insufficient relief, leaving them struggling with persistent symptoms.

Approved by the FDA, Spravato offers a new avenue of hope for these individuals, working rapidly to alleviate depressive symptoms when used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant.

“Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a pervasive problem in society today. Most of us have a personal relationship with someone who has been afflicted with depression. When we have the opportunity to help someone who has lost hope, we must do everything we can to reach as many of those people who are often times suffering in silence,” said Dr. Jason Mastor, psychiatrist at PHC Mastor Mental Health. “I am privileged to be able to offer Spravato in my office as an FDA-approved treatment for TRD.”

Spravato has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression within hours to days, offering a fast-acting alternative for patients who have struggled with the lengthy response times of traditional medications. This treatment is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all patients.
