If you live with depression, you understand how deeply it can affect every facet of your life. You may wake up already tired or feel as if you are moving through the day without joy or motivation.

MDD is a serious condition that leaves individuals feeling low for extended periods of time. If you have MDD, you may lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, struggle with energy or concentration, or experience changes in sleep, appetite, or weight. These symptoms can interfere with your work, relationships, and self-esteem.
Many people respond well to standard treatments, such as antidepressants or psychotherapy. For some, symptoms persist despite trying multiple approaches. In such cases, our clinicians often utilize MDD treatment, including new, innovative therapies, such as Spravato.
Spravato is an FDA-approved option available to treat MDD in Amarillo. As a form of ketamine, Spravato acts on the glutamate system, which plays a key role in how brain cells communicate and adapt. This pathway may support mood improvement more rapidly in some people.
During treatment, you will come into our office, where we administer Spravato under medical supervision. You will remain in a calm, comfortable environment while trained staff monitor you for about two hours. Most people begin with treatments twice a week for several weeks, followed by maintenance sessions as symptoms improve. We use Spravato together with an oral antidepressant to support your treatment goals.
Clinical research has shown that many individuals who did not respond to other medications experienced meaningful improvement with Spravato. Some people begin to feel changes within the first few weeks, such as increased energy, better focus, and a renewed sense of interest in daily life. While results vary, Spravato offers a safe, evidence-based way to address depression that has not improved with standard care.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) treatment in Amarillo includes innovative therapies, such as Spravato, that can support you if you have experienced long-term depression.
