When depression has not responded enough

Treatment-resistant depression generally means depression symptoms have not improved enough after adequate antidepressant treatment attempts. A clinical evaluation is still needed to decide whether Spravato is appropriate and safe for a specific patient.

  • The provider reviews diagnosis, treatment history, symptoms, safety considerations, and medication history.
  • Insurance plans often ask for documentation of previous antidepressant trials before authorization.
  • Nao Medical care managers help organize next steps so patients are not left managing every form alone.
  • Treatment-day logistics are planned in advance because monitoring and transportation matter.

Built for follow-through

Patients need a program that can carry them through approval and repeated visits, not only an initial consultation. Nao Medical supports that with in-house psychiatric care, outside psychiatrist coordination when appropriate, insurance support, and local Spravato locations.
