Innovative Treatment Option for Depression Relief Now Available in Greensburg, PA

New Directions Mental Health's Greensburg clinic now offers SPRAVATO®, an FDA-approved nasal spray for fast relief from treatment-resistant depression.

GREENSBURG, PA, UNITED STATES, March 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New Directions Mental Health is thrilled to announce that its Greensburg clinic is now offering SPRAVATO^® as part of its commitment to providing innovative and effective treatment options for mental health.

New Directions is proud to offer Spravato^®, the first nasal spray approved by the FDA for treating adults with treatment resistant depression. Spravato^®, also known as esketamine, is a fast-acting treatment, with clients often feeling relief from their depression symptoms within hours. It works by rapidly altering brain chemistry to provide relief from symptoms such as sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities. Historically Spravato^® has been used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant; however, new FDA approval allows use of Spravato^® without a concurrent oral antidepressant. Spravato^® is administered at New Directions' approved clinics under the close supervision of a healthcare professional and is now more accessible than ever.

In a short-term study, patients treated with Spravato^® combined with an oral antidepressant experienced a faster and more significant reduction in depression symptoms after just 4 weeks, compared to those who received the placebo alongside an oral antidepressant (https://www.spravato.com/how-spravato-could-help/). This innovative treatment option has been shown to be effective for many individuals who have not responded well to traditional antidepressant medications or talk therapy alone. Spravato^® is not a cure for depression, but it can provide significant relief from symptoms and help individuals regain their quality of life.
