Spravato (Esketamine) Nasal Spray
What is TRD (Treatment-Resistant Depression?)
Spravato is the only FDA approved nasal spray for treating adults with TRD (Treatment-resistant depression) or MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). It helps to reduce symptoms of depression for patients who have previously attempted two or more oral antidepressants and have found them to be unsuccessful.
MD TruCare is a Certified SPRAVATO Treatment Center
Several studies show that 1/3 of the patients with depression don’t get better just with antidepressant medications, and adding Spravato treatment dramatically improves their chances of getting better.

Conditions Treated By TMS:
MDD (Major Depressive Disorder)
For individuals who have yet to respond to two forms of medication and have tried therapy, we conduct an evaluation to see if TMS is the right fit for the patient. TMS would aid in reduce symptoms of constant sadness and loss of interest.
Anxiety Disorders (Generalized and Social)
With persistent worry and fear, it can disrupt one's everyday life. TMS works to better the well-being of patients to ensure holistic care and to steady their everyday life.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD)
To ease the condition and recurrence of episodes, TMS helps lower core symptoms that make these more prevalent.
OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
Utilizing TMS treatment can aid in the management of condition symptoms. With these unwanted thoughts and fears, TMS can help.
The Benefits of TMS Therapy

TMS Therapy is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Unlike medications, TMS poses few to no side effects.

What To Expect During Treatment
Before Your First Session:
- Consultation: Your provider will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if TMS is right with you.
- Mapping: During the first session, the team will map your brain to identify the precise area to target.
- During this time, the provider will also determine your motor threshold or the proper amount of magnetic energy to use for your treatment.
During Each Session: You will sit in a comfortable chair, awake and alert. A magnetic coil will be placed against your scalp, delivering gentle pulses to the targeted brain area. You will hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your scalp.
After Each Session: You can resume your activities immediately. Some patients experience mild headaches or scalp discomfort, but this is temporary.
