UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS

What Is Ketamine-Based Treatment?

Ketamine-based treatment is a specialized option that may be considered for certain adults experiencing depression that has not responded adequately to standard treatments.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric and medical evaluation. Your provider reviews your diagnosis, previous medications, current symptoms, medical history, treatment goals, and possible safety concerns before deciding whether ketamine-based care may be appropriate.

This treatment is not the right choice for everyone. Eligibility, administration, monitoring, risks, and expected treatment schedule depend on the exact medication Brownstone provides.

Who May Be Eligible?

Adults With Treatment-Resistant Depression

Patients who have tried appropriate depression treatments without receiving enough improvement may be considered for further evaluation.

Adults Needing a Different Treatment Approach

Some patients continue experiencing significant symptoms despite medication, therapy, or other forms of care.

Patients Who Can Safely Complete Supervised Treatment

Patients must be able to follow preparation, monitoring, transportation, and follow-up requirements established by the treatment team.

A consultation does not guarantee approval for treatment. Eligibility is determined after a complete clinical evaluation.

TREATMENT FOCUS

Who Is This Treatment Designed For?

Treatment-Resistant Depression

Persistent depression that has not adequately improved after appropriate treatment attempts.

Major Depressive Disorder With Acute Suicidal Thoughts or Behavior

SPRAVATO may be used for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder and acute suicidal thoughts or behavior. Its effectiveness in preventing suicide has not been established, and emergency care or hospitalization may still be required.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger,

call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
