Michelle L. Cantu, MD

Michelle L. Cantu, MD in San Antonio, Texas offers Spravato for adults with treatment-resistant depression. The esketamine nasal spray is self-administered under the supervision of a healthcare provider and can be taken with or without an oral antidepressant, with at least two hours of monitoring afterward.

Spravato is an NMDA receptor antagonist believed to work differently from traditional antidepressants by acting on glutamate, a chemical messenger thought to help regulate depression. Care is provided by Dr. Michelle Cantu and psychiatric nurse practitioner Jennifer Hughes.

The practice also offers TMS therapy for depression. Patients can set up a consultation to determine whether Spravato or TMS is appropriate. The office operates by appointment only with personalized psychiatric care.
