You've Exhausted the Standard Options.
There's Still a Path Forward.
SPRAVATO® (Esketamine) is specifically FDA-approved for patients like you — and we're certified to provide it.
If you've tried two or more antidepressants and still haven't found relief, you meet the clinical definition of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). That's not a dead end — it's actually a qualification. It means you're precisely the patient SPRAVATO® was designed and FDA-approved to help.
SPRAVATO® works differently than every antidepressant you've tried before. Rather than targeting serotonin — the mechanism behind most traditional antidepressants — it targets glutamate, a completely different pathway in the brain. This is why patients who have failed multiple medications can still respond to SPRAVATO®. Your brain hasn't failed you. The treatments just hadn't matched your biology yet.
Bright Horizons Psychiatry is a certified SPRAVATO® REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) provider. REMS certification isn't optional — it's a federal requirement. It means our clinic, our staff, and our protocols have been reviewed and approved to meet the safety standards the FDA mandates specifically for this treatment.
Not every clinic is certified. We are.
Here's What's Different.
If you're reading this, you've probably been through the medication carousel.
