What is Spravato, and who is it for?

Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. That usually means depression that hasn't improved enough after trying at least two antidepressants.

Here's what to expect:
โ€ข Treatment happens in our clinic, with our medical team right there with you
โ€ข After each dose, you'll relax with us for at least 2 hours while we monitor you
โ€ข You'll need a ride home, and you shouldn't drive until the next day after a full night's sleep
โ€ข Treatment starts more often at first, then tapers to a schedule that fits how you respond

If you've tried other treatments without the relief you hoped for, Spravato may be worth a conversation. Ask us about insurance coverage, too. Send us a DM or call (312) 300-2190.

"Do I have to talk about what happened?"

For many people living with PTSD, this question alone can keep them from seeking care. Reliving trauma can feel like too much, and that's completely understandable.

With Prism, the answer is no.

Here's what a session looks like:
โ€ข You sit comfortably and wear a soft EEG cap, a bit like a swim cap with small sensors
โ€ข You watch animated characters on a screen
โ€ข You try different mental strategies, like a memory, feeling, or image, to help calm the characters
โ€ข Over time, you discover the strategy that works for you and practice it daily between sessions

Prism is used alongside your other care, so it can fit with the therapy or medication you already have in place.

Want to know if Prism could be a fit? Send us a DM or call (312) 300-2190. We're proud to be the first clinic in Chicago to offer it.

Fall has a way of reminding us that letting go can be part of growing. ๐Ÿ‚

As the leaves change, this week's prompt is an invitation to notice what you might be ready to set down. Not forever, and not all at once. Just a little lighter than before.

Today's prompt: What is one thing you're carrying right now that isn't yours to hold?

There's no right or wrong answer. This is just a moment to check in with yourself.

Meet Waleed "Wally", PMHNP! ๐Ÿ’™

We're excited to welcome Wally to the Imagine Healthcare team.

Wally is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 5 years of RN experience in cardiovascular intensive care, inpatient psychiatry, and detox care. He completed his MSN and PMHNP training at Lewis University.

Wally treats the whole person. He combines evidence-based medication management with attention to sleep, nutrition, stress, and daily life. His approach: listen closely, understand the person behind the symptoms, and build care plans that actually fit real life.

Wally is currently training with our team and will soon be seeing patients in clinic and for medication management.

Please join us in welcoming Wally! ๐ŸŒฟ

We're proud to be the first in Chicago to offer Prism for PTSD. ๐Ÿ’™

Developed by GrayMatters Health, Prism is used alongside standard-of-care therapies like psychotherapy and medication. During a session, the patient watches a computer simulation with loud, agitated avatars. Their behavior is linked to the patient's brain activity, measured by an EEG headset. By focusing on a specific memory, emotion, or experience to calm down, the patient's brain activity shifts and the avatars sit down and quiet down. This is how patients learn mental strategies they can use to help improve their PTSD symptoms in daily life.

At Imagine, we believe in care that sees the whole person, and Prism is one more way we're expanding support for people living with PTSD.

Today is World Mental Health Day. ๐Ÿ’™

Mental health care works best when it treats you like a whole person, not a list of symptoms.

That's the belief Imagine Healthcare was built on. We take the time to understand your history, your goals, and what daily life actually looks like for you. Then we build a plan around that.

Wherever you are in your journey today, give yourself a little credit. Getting through hard days takes more strength than most people see.

And if you're ready for a next step, we'd be honored to walk it with you.

Today is National Depression Screening Day.

Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like:
โ€ข Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
โ€ข Sleeping too much, or not enough
โ€ข Feeling tired no matter how much you rest
โ€ข Trouble focusing or making decisions
โ€ข Feeling numb, irritable, or hopeless

If a few of these feel familiar and have stuck around for two weeks or more, a screening is a simple first step toward understanding what's going on.

Our psychiatric team offers thorough evaluations and personalized treatment plans, including Spravato for treatment-resistant depression when other approaches haven't helped.

If you've been wondering, this is your sign to check in. ๐Ÿ’™

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 any time.

This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week. ๐Ÿ’™

Mental illness is more common than most people think. About 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience a mental health condition each year. Yet so many people still feel like they're the only one struggling.

You're not. And needing support isn't a sign that you've failed. It's a sign that you're human.

This week, we're inviting you to do one small thing: check in with yourself, or with someone you love. A text, a walk, or an honest answer to "how are you?" can go a long way.

If you're ready to talk about care options, we're here. Send us a DM or fill out the contact form on our website.
