Spravato® (Esketamine) Treatment in San Diego

 

A modern option for adults with treatment‑resistant depression and anxiety‑related symptoms

SILVERLINING℠ provides advanced, evidence‑based care for individuals living with treatment‑resistant depression and depression accompanied by significant anxiety symptoms.

 

Spravato® (esketamine) is an FDA‑approved form of ketamine specifically designed to target depression, offering a new pathway for adults who have not improved with at least two antidepressants. Spravato works differently from traditional medications by acting on NMDA receptors, which influence mood, cognition, and emotional regulation. Because of this unique mechanism, some patients experience improvement more quickly and more meaningfully—especially when depression is intertwined with persistent anxiety.
