Art for art sake.

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” - Aristotle

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way - things I had no words for.” - Georgia O’Keeffe

“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” - Oscar Wilde

Becoming Conscious: The Way Out Is In

Image: Portrait of a young Viktor Frankl, 20th century psychiatrist, founder of Logotherapy, and survivor of the Holocaust

"Everything can be taken from a man, but one thing: the last of the human freedoms--to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." - Viktor Frankl from "Man's Search for Meaning"

Viktor Frankl experienced intense trauma during his time in N**i concentration camps, and his experiences undoubtedly had a profound impact on him and his approach to life. It is certainly possible that his experiences led him to develop a greater degree of consciousness and awareness of the interconnectedness of all beings.

Trauma can often result in a heightened sense of empathy and sensitivity to the experiences of others, which can be channeled into positive actions and contributions to society. Frankl's work in logotherapy, which emphasizes the importance of finding meaning and purpose in life even in the face of suffering and adversity, is a testament to his resilience and determination to create something positive out of his experiences.

To close, I share with you another quote by Viktor Frankl from "Man's Search for Meaning:

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear
almost any "how."

SPRAVATO® (Esketamine)

Elevate Medical providers this calming space where you will come in for your SPRAVATO® treatments.

If you have tried 2+ antidepressants and are still struggling with depressive symptoms, talk to our providers to see if you may have treatment-resistant depression.

SPRAVATO® treatments are covered by health insurances making them affordable to everyone.

What is SPRAVATO®?

1. It increases glutamate levels in the brain, which is the most prevalent chemical messenger in the brain, resulting in a greater reach and more substantial impact on brain cells with just a single dose.

2. It is quick acting (within the first session) vs over 4-8 weeks with traditional antidepressants.

3. It is not an SSRI (no concern with sexual dysfunction or weight gain).

4. It promotes neuroplasticity (a process allowing the nervous system to adapt it's activity in response to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structures, functions and/or connections) and synaptogenesis (the formation of synapses between neurons, which is important for the establishment of neuronal network and the precision of brain circuitry).

SPRAVATO® treatment success rate is impressive with once trial finding 70% of patients being treated for depression using esketamine with an antidepressant experienced a 50% or more reduction in their depressive symptoms. Additionally, approximately 50% experienced total remission of their depressive symptoms.

Elevate Medical is proud to be a Certified SPRAVATO® (Esketamine) Treatment Center

SPRAVATO® (Esketamine) is a prescription medicine given by nasal spray and taken with an oral antidepressant to improve the symptoms of depression in adults who have treatment-resistant depression.

There’s good news for people with severe treatment-resistant depression: Esketamine is a groundbreaking therapy that can provide relief from major depression within hours. “For the first time in 60 years, we have a new antidepressant therapy that isn’t just a spinoff of existing drugs,” says Adam Kaplin, M.D., Ph.D., a psychiatrist with Johns Hopkins Medicine. “For some people, esketamine therapy is revolutionary, giving them the chance to experience life without depression for the first time in decades.

Esketamine is made from a drug called ketamine, an anesthetic that has also been used for many years to treat depression. But it wasn’t until recently that esketamine, a more potent version of ketamine, earned FDA approval specifically for use as a nasal spray for those with treatment-resistant depression.

Esketamine is derived from part of the ketamine molecule,” says Kaplin, who has studied the drug for three years. “Because it’s more potent, you can use it at a lower dose and theoretically have fewer side effects. Now that it’s available in an intranasal version and approved by the FDA, it’s more likely that insurance companies will cover the treatment.

Esketamine, like ketamine, has the potential to distort your perception during the first two hours after treatment, so it has to be administered in a clinic setting. Treatment for esketamine nasal spray is done on an outpatient basis.

With the nasal spray, you give yourself three doses, spaced five minutes apart, under doctor supervision. You remain in the clinic under doctor observation until potential side effects have passed.

Esketamine must be used in conjunction with a conventional antidepressant. The intention is that esketamine provides rapid relief from depression symptoms until the other medication takes effect.

Talk to your healthcare provider to see if SPRAVATO® may be right for you.
