Depression Care in NYC
When daily medications don’t work, there's still a path forward.
If therapy or antidepressants haven't brought relief, you're not alone. At Being Health, we specialize in Spravato® (esketamine), an FDA-approved, insurance-covered treatment specifically for treatment-resistant depression or major depressive disorder.

What is Depression?
Feeling down or sad is a healthy response to life stress. However, sometimes feelings of depression may be more severe, disproportionate to our circumstances, and last significantly longer than expected. When these feelings interrupt our usual functioning, treatment can help. If this sounds familiar, Spravato® may offer a new path forward.
What is Spravato® (Esketamine)?
Spravato® is an FDA-approved treatment that offers relief for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Delivered as a nasal spray under clinical supervision, Spravato® works differently than traditional antidepressants—and it's the only ketamine-based therapy covered by many major insurance plans.

Spravato® has been shown in numerous studies to provide rapid improvement in depressive symptoms in people with treatment-resistant depression.

How do I know if Spravato® is right for me?
Spravato® may be an option if you’re an adult living with treatment-resistant depression—typically defined as depression that hasn’t improved after trying at least two antidepressant medications. It may also be appropriate if you’re experiencing major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal thoughts or behavior.
At Being Health, one of our psychiatrists will meet with you for an initial consultation to evaluate your symptoms, treatment history, and overall health. If Spravato® is a good fit, we’ll guide you through every step—from insurance authorization to ongoing treatment and monitoring.
Am I eligible for Spravato® treatment?
You may be eligible for Spravato® (esketamine) if you’re an adult and meet certain clinical criteria. Eligibility is typically based on insurance and medical guidelines, but most patients qualify through one of the pathways below.
General requirements:
- You are 18 years or older
- The treatment must be done at a REMS (the FDA’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) certified doctor's office or clinic such as Being Health
- You have medical and psychiatric clearance to receive Spravato
- You must be able to stay on-site for at least 2 hours after each dose for monitoring
Pathway 1: Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) - for individuals whose depression has not improved with standard treatments. You may qualify if:
- You have moderate to severe major depressive disorder, confirmed by a standardized scale such as a PHQ-9.
- You’ve tried at least two antidepressants (at adequate dose and duration) without meaningful improvement.
- You have medical and psychiatric clearance to receive Spravato
- You do not have medical or psychiatric conditions that are contraindicated for the use of Spravato
Pathway 2: Depression with acute suicidal thoughts - for adults who are experiencing an active mental health crisis. You may qualify if:
- You have major depressive disorder (MDD) with current suicidal thoughts or behaviors
- Treatment is used short-term to help stabilize symptoms
- Spravato® is part of a broader safety and care plan (it does not replace hospitalization if needed)
- You do not have medical or psychiatric conditions that are contraindicated for the use of Spravato
Who may not be eligible:
- Spravato® may not be appropriate if you have certain medical conditions (such as specific blood vessel disorders or severe liver disease), are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an untreated substance use disorder.
Eligibility and coverage varies by insurance plan. Our team will help review your history and benefits to determine if Spravato® is right for you.
