Mert for military and veterans

For many veterans and active duty military, civilian life can be difficult, especially for those dealing with depression, PTSD, anxiety, or sleep problems.

Today, more than one in five veterans struggle with PTSD or depression, and too many are left feeling like they have nowhere to turn. Standard treatments often help, but for some, the results don’t feel like enough.

If this sounds like you or someone you love, know there are new solutions to this difficult problem. MeRT® (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is an emerging, innovative brain treatment that is giving veterans and military members new hope, especially when other therapies haven’t been effective.

MeRT is a unique therapy that uses magnetic waves to “tune” the brain. Just like a radio needs to be tuned to the right frequency to work properly, our brains sometimes need help to restore balance, especially after trauma. MeRT is a personalized treatment that adjusts brain activity patterns to improve mood, sleep, and overall mental well-being. For military personnel and veterans dealing with symptoms that interfere with daily life, MeRT offers a new way forward.

At Brain Treatment Center Dallas, we believe every veteran deserves the best care possible, and we’re committed to providing effective, science-backed solutions. We proudly offer MeRT therapy, which is often covered by TRICARE, making it more accessible to veterans, active duty members, and their families.

“It was the exact answer I was looking for and needed.”

“Soon after returning from deployment, I had difficulty concentrating, sleeping, and remembering recent conversations or tasks. I was irritable and generally unpleasant to be around. My tinnitus was noticeably affecting my day and mood as well. I had little motivation to do anything, and I often found it more comforting to stay home alone than to go out and interact with friends or family. I wasn’t the person I usually am, nor the one I strive to be.
“So I went through several doctor’s appointments to understand what was affecting my mood and general demeanor, and nothing seemed to help. They prescribed various medications and gave me hearing aids and sleeping aids. I changed my workout routines and methods to include mindfulness meditation, but to no avail. Because of my frustrations and anxiety, I found myself turning to alcohol. I was reaching a point of hopelessness and despair.
“Luckily, a friend of mine knew of BTC and told me of the benefits to TBI/PTSD patients. Admittedly, I was skeptical but willing to try anything at that point. Little did I know, it was the exact answer I was looking for and needed.
“My tinnitus is much, much better. I can concentrate longer without distraction, and my memory has significantly improved. I have returned to enjoying the little things in life, getting out, and being active again. And I can now regularly sleep through the night without waking up multiple times with my heart racing… the first time that has happened in a long, long time. My spouse has noticed and thanks you as well!
“I am wholly convinced that the work you guys are doing is the answer we need versus the answer we are often given through ‘traditional’ medicine. It is a true game-changer.”

How MeRT Addresses Common Challenges for Veterans

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)

For those living with PTSD, everyday situations can bring back painful memories, making it hard to feel safe or at ease. MeRT works by helping the brain find a calmer state, reducing the hyperactivity that keeps those memories intense. Veterans who have tried MeRT often report feeling more relaxed, better able to manage stress, and more at peace.

Depression

Depression can feel like an endless weight that never lifts, affecting everything from energy to relationships. MeRT has shown promising results in helping lift this weight, offering a new sense of control over your life. The treatment helps regulate brain function to improve mood and motivation.

Sleep Problems

A good night’s sleep is essential for recovery, but for many veterans, sleep is hard to come by. MeRT can help restore your brain’s natural rhythm, leading to better sleep and less restlessness. With regular MeRT sessions, many veterans find they can finally sleep through the night.

Anxiety

For veterans, anxiety can feel overwhelming, whether it’s the constant worry or a racing heart. MeRT gently “resets” your brain, reducing anxiety symptoms and helping you feel calmer and more grounded.

Real Results: How MeRT Has Changed Lives

Veterans and military members who have tried MeRT at Brain Treatment Center Dallas have shared stories of renewed hope. They talk about feeling more like themselves, more capable, and better able to enjoy life. Families have seen their loved ones come back to life in ways they hadn’t seen for years. These changes are real and meaningful, and they’re why we are so committed to providing MeRT.

“Within four days of being treated, I was sleeping through the night. My anger had subsided significantly, and I was smiling and enjoying things again. I could focus and concentrate on information much more efficiently and easily and did not get lost in conversation as I had before coming to BTC. My chronic headaches had ceased, my balance was returning, and my ringing in my ears (tinnitus) had also ceased.”

Marine EOD Tech

“With being diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and anxiety by the Veterans Affairs, the calm and welcoming environment is important. The treatment makes me sleep longer and deeper than before treatment. My ‘dark feelings’ fade away. I feel happy and calm.”

Sean K.

Retired Coast Guard

“My experience at the Brain Treatment Center was life-changing. I struggled through years of sleeplessness, constant worry, and struggle with everyday life. Halfway through my first treatment plan, my spirit was revived. My loved ones, acquaintances, and people I met started to comment on my positivity and overall demeanor. I went from losing hope to cherishing every moment.
“I would urge anyone who is struggling with head injury, depression, PTSD, or any type of psychological struggle(s) to pick up the phone and inquire. Your best days are still to come.”

The Science Behind MeRT

You don’t have to take our word for it—the science is there, too. Studies have shown that MeRT can make a difference for people living with depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Research studies, like those from Frontiers in Psychiatry and ongoing trials, continue to explore the effectiveness of MeRT, especially for those who haven’t responded well to other treatments.

At the Brain Treatment Center Dallas, we stay current with this research and use its findings to continually improve our patient care. MeRT offers hope because it’s grounded in science, and we’re proud to offer it to our veterans and active-duty military.
