The PHQ-9 is a standardized assessment used to measure the severity of major depressive disorder.

This graph shows the journey of an individual who began treatment at Innerbloom. After just over a month of Spravato®, their PHQ-9 score dropped from 26 to 7 — moving from severe depression into the mild range.

This isn’t just a number. Before treatment, this person rarely left home and was isolated. Now, they’re actively involved in community events and are even doing public speaking now.

While every patient’s response is unique and progress isn’t always as linear as this, this story is just one of many like it.

At Innerbloom, we offer both IV/IM ketamine and Spravato® (nasal esketamine). While both can be powerful tools for healing, it’s important to understand their key differences:

Ketamine
💉 Administered IV or intramuscularly
🌧️ Treats depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain
🌈 Higher doses can provide a more immersive, often psychedelic experience

Spravato
👃 FDA-approved nasal spray
🎯 Indicated only for treatment-resistant depression
✅ Covered by many insurance providers

Both options have unique benefits—what matters most is finding the right fit for you. Read our blog or call us today to learn more.

New research highlights how IV Ket therapy can rapidly reduce PTSD and depression symptoms

📊 In a study of 8,136 PTSD patients (87% with comorbid depression):
✔️ The biggest improvements came within the first 3 treatments
