Could Esketamine Offer New Hope for Depression? ?? The FDA has approved an esketamine nasal spray for severe depression, offering a faster-acting option for those who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. Studies show relief can begin within 24 hours and last through a 28-day treatment cycle. Dr. David Merrill, a brain health expert at PNI, spoke with Medical News Today about the significance of this approval, emphasizing the need for more evidence-backed treatments and safer, well-regulated options for patients with major depressive disorder.
