KZ Psychiatric Services

KZ Psychiatric Services offers Spravato nasal spray in Barnhart for adults with treatment resistant depression. That usually means depression that has not improved after at least two antidepressants at proper doses and lengths.

Patients self administer the spray at the office while staff check blood pressure and watch for side effects. Everyone stays at least two hours afterward and needs a ride home, with no driving until the next day.

Treatment starts on a frequent schedule, then moves to maintenance visits. Spravato is usually paired with an oral antidepressant. The practice is led by a dual board certified nurse practitioner with about two decades of experience and also treats anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and substance use.
