  • Major depressive disorder
  • Treatment-resistant depression

Treatment Approaches

At Junction Brain Health, Dr. Standridge offers access to multiple evidence-based treatment options, allowing care to be tailored to each patient’s needs, history, and preferences. These may include:

Spravato® (esketamine) nasal spray

An FDA-approved option for treatment-resistant depression, delivered under medical supervision.

Psychiatric medication management
