Esketamine nasal spray is a novel, fast-acting agent that provides an additional treatment option for patients with TRD who have previously failed several therapies. The guidance here is based on the authors' experience and the available literature; however, further real-world use of esketamine nasal spray will add to existing knowledge. The recommendations offer practical guidance to clinicians who are unfamiliar with esketamine nasal spray.
