The effectiveness of the esketamine nasal spray (ESK-NS) for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) has been confirmed by real-world studies. Available evidence derived from clinician-rated assessments might differ patients' perceptions about helpfulness treatments. We aimed to verify effect ESK-NS view in 25 TRD patients (56% males, 55.1 ± 10.9 years) treated with (mean dose: 78.4 11.43 mg) three months and evaluated at different time-points through self-administered scales, assessing changes depression, anhedonia, sleep, cognition, suicidality, anxiety. observed an overall early improvement that lasted over time (endpoint total score reduction Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale, p < 0.001, Beck Inventory, = 0.003). Patients reported a significant self-rated decrease anhedonia two (Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure 0.04) suicide ideation endpoint (BDI subitem 9, 0.039) vs. earlier improvements detected clinicians (one-month MADRS 8, 0.005, 10, 0.007). These findings confirm three-month treatment patients, highlighting overlapping response clinicians' perspectives, although some differential effects on specific symptoms given time-points.

Despite promising preliminary results suggesting efficacy alleviating depression anxiety, as well obsessions, compulsions, addictive behaviors, significant gaps persist. These include evaluating compared standard antidepressants or anxiolytic molecules identifying patient subpopulations might benefit most from PAP. Concerns about safety, long-term optimal dosage remain unclear due previous trials’ limitations. Real-world implementation faces challenges, including infrastructural requirements, personnel training, unresolved legal ethical issues. paper argues further substantiate base, emphasizing need larger overcome limitations explore full therapeutic potential. While holds promise psychiatry, its successful translation practice demands more robust rigor.
