Why Choose Vortex?
How is SPRAVATO® different from other antidepressants?
SPRAVATO® works differently by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, which can help restore neural connections and provide rapid symptom relief, sometimes within hours or days. Traditional oral antidepressants primarily affect serotonin or norepinephrine and can take weeks to become effective.
Who is a candidate for SPRAVATO® treatment?
SPRAVATO® is FDA-approved for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), meaning they have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressant treatments. A thorough assessment with our team at Vortex Psychiatry will determine if it is the right option for you.
What happens during a SPRAVATO® treatment session?
SPRAVATO® is a nasal spray that you will self-administer in our office under medical supervision. After administration, you will rest in a comfortable, private room for approximately two hours while our team monitors you to ensure your safety and well-being.
Will I need someone to drive me home after treatment?
Yes, due to its potential side effects, you will not be able to drive, operate machinery, or make important decisions for the rest of the day after your treatment. You must arrange for transportation home from our Danville office.
