After a spray of Spravato, patients often experience sleepiness, dizziness, breathing problems, or feelings of disconnection, which tend to peak at 40 minutes and fade after about two hours. The spray may also impair judgment, thinking, reaction speed, and motor skills, which means patients should not operate machinery until the following day.
Spravato isn't perfect, but it is the first new medication for major depression approved by the FDA in decades.

Eating carnivore (or even Keto, and low-carb) can completely cure depression.
It's amazing (but I guess expected) how mostly only the pharmaceutical solutions for depression get any press. But avoiding carbohydrates can cure depression, for good, in a matter of weeks or a few months.
For more information, listen to some interviews with Dr. George Ede. Her book "Change your Diet, Change your Mind" is amazing.

Spravato is for the therapy of treatment resistant depression. When all other options fail (other antidepressants, psychotherapy) Spravato might help. It is also effective against acute suicidial thoughts. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is ketamine which has the advantage that the effects set in almost immediatly. Moreover, they last for several days or in some cases even weeks. The main disadvantage is its addictive potential.

I wonder the same. TBH, by reading this article, I suspect it's of any use. I think it's the political influence of Johnson and Johnson that has helped get a grant for this spray. I like ayurvedic medicines for depression. We've a plant of night Jasmine in our yard and it has helped all of us to remain healthier and happier.
