Spravato’s mechanism of action involves blocking the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a key component of the glutamate neurotransmitter system. Glutamate is one of the primary excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain, playing a crucial role in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Dysregulation of glutamate signaling has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression.
By blocking the NMDA receptor, Spravato modulates glutamate neurotransmission, leading to complex downstream effects. One important consequence is the rapid increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. BDNF is a protein that promotes the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons, and it plays a crucial role in neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire itself in response to experience.
As part of our psychiatric care in Fort Wayne, we deliver Spravato with structured oversight and ongoing coordination.
Learn MoreWe were the first practice in our region to offer BrainsWay deep TMS. We continue to lead as a BrainsWay Select center, delivering over 250 therapy sessions per quarter. Our clinicians have treated hundreds of patients with deep TMS. Therefore, our caregivers will bring their in-depth experience to your evaluation, mapping, and ongoing adjustments throughout your course. BrainsWay deep TMS treatment uses a patented H-Coil that delivers a magnetic pulse to engage the targeted neural networks while you sit comfortably in our office. Sessions are typically about 20 minutes, do not require anesthesia or hospitalization, and do not cause systemic side effects. Our leadership in deep TMS is a cornerstone of our mental health services at our Fort Wayne clinic.
Neurostar Advanced Therapy is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-drug treatment for major depression. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy uses focused magnetic pulses, similar to an MRI, to reignite dormant synapses in the brain and help your brain function the way it was meant to.
Learn MoreKetamine therapy at Viking Psychiatry in Fort Wayne includes both IV ketamine and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. You will undergo a thorough medical and psychiatric evaluation, and your sessions will take place in a structured clinical setting with continuous monitoring. Many patients continue psychotherapy alongside ketamine so that their mindset, skills, and insights are combined while their neuroplasticity is heightened.
