E43 - Spravato Therapy and Interventional Psychiatry with Dr. Sabrina Sandoval

What if treating depression required more than just the right medication? On this episode, Dr. Sabrina Sandoval, psychiatrist and founder of Mind Care Services, sits down with us to share her unexpected journey from studying viruses at the CDC to transforming lives through cutting-edge interventional psychiatry. Dr. Sandoval breaks down the key differences between ECT, TMS, and Spravato, explaining how esketamine works on the glutamate system to encourage neurogenesis and build new neural connections faster than any traditional antidepressant. She also explores the holistic side of recovery, from social connection and behavioral activation to sleep, diet, and the hidden toll of screen time on mental health, making this a comprehensive conversation on interventional psychiatry and treatment-resistant depression.
