For those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, waiting 4-6 weeks for an antidepressant to work feels impossible. At Next Step Psychiatry, we understand the urgency.

FDA Approval for Suicidal Ideation

In 2020, the FDA expanded Spravato's approval to include adults with major depressive disorder who have suicidal thoughts. This was groundbreaking because:

  • It can reduce suicidal thoughts within hours to days
  • It provides hope when traditional medications take too long

How Spravato Helps

Speed of Action Traditional antidepressants take 4-6 weeks. Spravato can begin working within hours.

Different Mechanism Spravato targets glutamate pathways rather than serotonin.

Bridge to Stability Spravato provides rapid relief while other treatments begin working.
