KU Wichita Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences

KU Wichita Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences offers Spravato in Wichita, Kansas, for adults whose depression has not improved after at least two other antidepressants. Spravato is a nasal spray form of esketamine, taken alongside an oral antidepressant.

A psychiatrist reviews medical and treatment history first. Patients then use the spray under direct supervision and rest at the clinic for about two hours. Treatment runs twice a week for four weeks, then eases to weekly and every other week. A responsible adult must drive the patient home.

The clinic is part of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Wichita. It also provides psychiatric evaluations, medication management, talk therapy, neuropsychological testing, addiction treatment, and ECT. Care covers children, adults, and older adults across the Wichita area.
