Nasal spray to treat depression could be ‘breakthrough’, Abu Dhabi health operator says – The National

Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha) believes a nasal spray could be a major breakthrough in the battle against depression.

The emirate's healthcare operator has treated patients - who had no success with standard medicines - with esketamine nasal spray.

Seha said the results of the treatment have been positive, so far and it comes ahead of World Mental Health Day on Sunday.
