Mend Psychiatry

Mend Psychiatry in Fairlawn, Ohio offers Spravato (esketamine), an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression or major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Unlike standard antidepressants that target serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato acts on the NMDA receptor in the brain's glutamate system, often leading to faster symptom improvement.

Always used alongside an oral antidepressant, Spravato is self-administered under medical supervision in a certified treatment center, with each session lasting about two hours including a monitoring period. The typical schedule is twice weekly for four weeks, then weekly or bi-weekly maintenance.

Alongside Spravato, Mend Psychiatry provides TMS for treatment-resistant depression, comprehensive mental health services, addiction-informed care, and pediatric psychiatry, offered through in-person and telehealth appointments across Ohio.
