Taken with an oral supplement, SPRAVATO is an FDA-approved treatment for adults experiencing treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or depressive symptoms associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). Patients interested in pursuing this treatment option will work with the company's experienced intake and screening teams to ensure that SPRAVATO is the most positive choice for them. KWC providers are trained to administer SPRAVATO treatments in the right care and patient safety settings.
