Traditional Treatments Haven't Worked for My Depression: Can You Help?
Feeling as though your depression treatments aren't working can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, and hopeless. When standard oral medications fail to bring relief, it's easy to believe you've run out of options. However, advanced therapies are available.
At Hudson Specialty Care Spravato, we specialize in helping individuals who struggle with treatment-resistant depression. We proudly serve patients at offices in Edison, Cliffside Park, Elizabeth, and Clifton, New Jersey, and at New York City locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Understanding treatment-resistant depression
Treatment-resistant depression occurs when standard antidepressant medications fail to relieve your symptoms after multiple adequate trials. This condition can make daily life feel incredibly heavy and difficult to navigate.
About 21 million US adults experience at least one major depressive episode in a single year. For many of those individuals, traditional options don't provide the relief they need.
Research shows that treatment-resistant depression affects approximately 2.8 million American adults, accounting for up to 30% of all major depressive disorder cases. You’re far from alone in your struggle.
How SPRAVATO® nasal spray therapy can help
If you feel stuck in your mental health journey, we offer a path forward. We provide supervised SPRAVATO® treatment, an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray therapy designed specifically for adults who haven't found relief from traditional antidepressants.
We administer this treatment in our offices under the care of our compassionate team.
This innovative treatment works differently than standard oral medications by targeting different pathways in the brain. An analysis shows that esketamine is a rapid-acting therapy that significantly improves symptoms for patients who’ve failed previous medication trials.
What to expect during your treatment
We administer this treatment under close medical supervision in our comfortable offices. Because esketamine can cause temporary changes in blood pressure or mild dissociation, which is a temporary feeling of being disconnected from your surroundings, you stay with us for about two hours after your dose so we can monitor your progress.
We work closely with your existing mental health providers to ensure your care is seamless and supportive. You don't have to navigate this challenging journey alone, and we're here to help you feel safe, comfortable, and respected every step of the way.
Don't let depression control your life when traditional treatments fail. Our team is ready to help you explore new possibilities for healing and recovery. Contact one of our convenient locations today to schedule a consultation.
