What the experts say
Depression is common, and as many as one-third of people with depression are considered treatment resistant—not finding relief from symptoms even after trying several antidepressants. Ketamine and esketamine offer a new and fast-acting treatment for people that have not responded to other anti-depression medications. New research published May 2019 in the American Journal of Psychiatry supports the effectiveness and safety of Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray in treating depression for people who have not responded to previous treatments. This study is one of the key studies that led to the recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of esketamine nasal spray, in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, for use in people with treatment-resistant depression.
With most medications, like valium, the anti-anxiety effect you get only lasts when it is in your system. When the valium goes away, you can get rebound anxiety. When you take ketamine, it triggers reactions in your cortex that enable brain connections to regrow. It’s the reaction to ketamine, not the presence of ketamine in the body that constitutes its effects

There has been a long-standing need for additional effective treatments for treatment-resistant depression, a serious and life-threatening condition. Controlled clinical trials that studied the safety and efficacy of this drug, along with careful review through the FDA’s drug approval process including a robust discussion with our external advisory committees, were important to our decision to approve this treatment.
Tiffany Farchione, MD, Director, Division of Psychiatry, US Food and Drug Administration
This trial of esketamine was one of the pivotal trials in the FDA's review of this treatment for patients with treatment resistant depression. Not only was adjunctive esketamine therapy effective, the improvement was evident within the first 24 hours. The novel mechanism of action of esketamine, coupled with the rapidity of benefit, underpin just how important this development is for patients with difficult to treat depression.
