What is Spravato® (Esketamine)? | Edison, NJ
A New Era in Depression Treatment

FDA-Approved Spravato® for
Treatment-Resistant Depression

Spravato (esketamine) is a breakthrough nasal spray treatment that works differently than traditional antidepressants to provide relief where others haven't.

FDA-Approved Spravato® for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Treatment Overview

Breaking Through Chronic Depression

For many, traditional oral antidepressants simply aren't enough. When two or more medications have failed to provide relief, you may be suffering from Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). Spravato® (esketamine) offers a revolutionary new path forward.

Spravato is the first FDA-approved nasal spray for TRD. Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato targets the glutamate system to rapidly repair damaged neural connections and restore brain function.

★★★★★
I've been dealing with depression and PTSD for years and Dr. Amin's TMS Therapy has honestly saved my life. I'm someone who does not respond well to depression medication, so TMS was a godsend for me. I went from crying for no reason almost every day to feeling more stable and even optimistic. Dr. Amin is really invested in my mental health and Charlie, the TMS technician, is very helpful in making the treatments go by quickly and swiftly. I don't even want to imagine what my life would have been like without these treatments these past few years.

Amazing experience with Dr. Amin. He helped me get out of my anxiety in just 2 months. He is very responsive, follows up personally, and is always available when you need to talk. Highly recommended! I had a wonderful experience with Nurse Melissa. She genuinely cares about her patients, and it shows in how she handles them. Thank You Dr Amin.

★★★★★
I've been experiencing night terrors for a few years. I called Dr Amin immediately and he called me back right away. He told me he could help me. He came up with a medical plan with his diagnosis and that's what we're doing now. Dr. Amin is not aggressive and started very cautious with treatment because of my family history. Dr. Amin calls me to follow up on how I'm feeling. I highly recommend his practice. They answer in a timely manner. Everyone is very nice.

Dr. Amin saved me from my horrible OCD. Thank god for him. I originally went to him for a second opinion. I decided to take a leap of faith and start TMS after I had a bad OCD episode. It was rough in the beginning when I first started TMS but I persevered my way through and I'm so glad I did. I'm just about half way through and I see so many benefits already. I have my life back. I feel such relief — I can rationalize my thoughts and emotions so much better now. Overall I'm a better person. Thank you x1000 Dr. Amin!!!

★★★★★
Before becoming a patient of Dr. Amin, I was experiencing persistent cognitive fog, chronic depression, and generalized anxiety that significantly impacted my ability to function day to day. Since implementing Dr. Amin's comprehensive recommendations, my cognitive clarity has returned, my mood has stabilized, and I now have the energy and confidence to manage daily tasks and engage in social environments without fear. Dr. Amin's thoughtful and integrative approach to treatment has been transformative. His attention to detail and commitment to addressing root causes — rather than just symptoms — has helped me reclaim both my functionality and quality of life. I am truly grateful for the care I've received.

I have been a patient with NJ Healthy Minds for the past couple of years, and choosing them has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. Everyone I've encountered has been kind, compassionate, supportive, and consistent. The passion and care they show truly reflect their purpose and the positive impact they make in people's lives every day. I am not the same person I was when I first came to them. Their support has made a tremendous difference in my life, and for that I am deeply grateful. Dr Amin & staff, you rock.

Dr Amin is a very caring doctor. He helped me regain my peace via TMS therapy. He took whatever time was required to explain in detail what to expect. Unlike most in his field, he returns calls with urgency. I love having him as my doctor.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask about this treatment.

What does a Spravato treatment session look like?

You will self-administer the nasal spray in our office under the supervision of a healthcare provider. You'll then stay in a comfortable, private room for about two hours for monitoring while the medication takes effect.

Is Spravato the same as Ketamine?

Spravato (esketamine) is a chemical cousin of ketamine. It is FDA-approved specifically for depression and is administered through a nasal spray, whereas clinical ketamine is usually given via IV infusion.

Will I be able to drive after the session?

No. Because of potential sedation or dissociation, you must arrange for a ride home and should not drive or operate heavy machinery until the next day.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically, patients start with sessions twice a week for the first month, then transition to once a week for the second month, followed by a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs.
