McLaren Bay Region Treatment Resistant Depression Clinic

McLaren Bay Region runs a treatment resistant depression clinic in Bay City that offers esketamine nasal spray. The medication is for people whose depression has not improved after at least two other antidepressants.

Each visit involves three doses of the nasal spray, spaced five minutes apart. Patients then stay about two hours so staff can watch for side effects. Treatment starts at twice a week and may space out as symptoms improve.

The clinic accepts referrals from providers and offers a self referral form on request. It is part of the McLaren Health Care system and serves Bay City and the surrounding Great Lakes Bay region.
