Treatment & access

About this provider

Vincent van Gogh treats mood problems through area-based outpatient teams in Blerick, Venlo, Venray and Weert, following referral from the GP. For difficult-to-treat depression it offers esketamine nasal spray as an outpatient day treatment in a comfortable setting: nurses are present from the moment of administration to monitor the effect and carry out checks, and the spray is always prescribed in combination with an antidepressant. After four weeks of twice-weekly sessions, a physician and psychiatrist evaluate: with good effect the frequency is lowered, without sufficient effect treatment stops, always in consultation with the patient's own clinician. The centre reports good effect on mood symptoms in over half of its esketamine patients; ECT is also available.

Common questions

How does access work?

You need a referral from your GP. After the referral is received you wait for an intake, discuss your symptoms and needs, receive a treatment proposal, and may wait again before the treatment itself starts. Current waiting times to intake and to treatment are published on the wachttijden page.

What does an esketamine session look like?

It is an outpatient day treatment in a comfortable environment. From the moment the spray is administered, nurses are present to monitor the effect and perform checks. Esketamine nasal spray is always prescribed in combination with an antidepressant.

How is the treatment evaluated?

After four weeks of treatment twice per week, a physician and psychiatrist evaluate the effect. With good effect the treatment is continued at lower frequency; with insufficient effect it is stopped. Both decisions are always taken in consultation with your own clinician. Vincent van Gogh reports a good effect on mood symptoms in over half of patients.
