Spravato for Seniors: What You Need to Know
Depression affects many older adults, and treatment-resistant depression can be especially challenging. At Next Step Psychiatry, we have experience treating seniors with Spravato.
Is Spravato Safe for Older Adults?
Yes, Spravato has been studied and approved for adults of all ages. However, there are special considerations:
Blood Pressure Monitoring Spravato can temporarily raise blood pressure. Our experienced team monitors this closely.
