Non-invasive and possibly life-changing Treatments for Depression.
Depression doesn’t have to be a life sentence. There are solutions.
Chronic depression can make life seem unbearable, particularly when medications haven’t worked or have caused intolerable side effects.
MeRT is a drug-free, non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that can improve your outlook on life, help you sleep better, and relieve depression.
When someone is depressed, life can feel very dark. And sometimes, it’s just easier to retreat from day-to-day living rather than have to deal with the anxiety, pain, and constant negative thoughts.
We aren’t referring to a momentary dip in mood, where one can recover after a few days and get on with life. This is the kind of depression that you can’t just “bounce back” from — no matter what your well-meaning friends and family say.
And you may have tried many things to help, but still have issues. Maybe therapy and medications aren’t working the way you hoped they would. Or some of the side effects from certain drugs can be as tough to deal with as the depression symptoms themselves.
But there is hope. At Redefined Mind, we offer different and yet proven effective options for treating depression. Whether Ketamine Infusions or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy or both therapies are utilized, there is a very high probability that your depression can be relieved significantly.
MeRT is gentle, non-invasive, and drug-free. And it’s achieved some remarkable results in treating depression.* Read more about both therapies.

MeRT: A Drug-free, Non-invasive, Long-lasting Solution to Depression Symptoms
MeRT uses a magnetic field to stimulate and balance brain function, guided by sophisticated imaging and diagnostics. It has been used successfully to treat depression, particularly when medications haven’t helped or have caused complex side effects.
The key to MeRT is the initial testing with a qEEG (quantitative encephalogram), also called brain mapping. That’s because the altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain may contribute to depression. And the EEG will show that altered activity as a brainwave imbalance.
Once we see the imbalance in brainwave activity, we can then develop a personalized treatment plan to strengthen healthy brainwave activity using TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation, an FDA-cleared therapy).
The TMS delivers gentle magnetic pulses to those specific areas of the brain which are not functioning as they should be. This can improve brain connectivity and communication, and in many cases, this has greatly reduced depression symptoms. In fact, many people have been able to go off their medications for depression after MeRT treatment.*

Depression Can Affect Anyone
Even if a person appears to live in perfect circumstances, they can still succumb to depression. While environmental factors may contribute to depression — such as continuous exposure to violence, neglect, or abuse — they are not the whole picture.
Differences in biochemistry, genetics, and personality can all make a person more susceptible to depression. That’s why it’s so important to get help for depression when you’re experiencing it, because often, it’s not something you can just “get over.”
Depression can be a serious illness. Symptoms can be mild or severe but should never be taken lightly. At its most severe, depression can lead to suicidal feelings. And suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. Additionally, up to 7.4% of teens between grades 9-12 reported that they had attempted suicide at least once in the last twelve months.
That’s why getting the right help for depression can be a matter of life and death.
Ketamine Infusions for Depression Treatment
In addition to MeRT, Redefined Mind offers ketamine to treat depression symptoms.
Ketamine is clinically proven to be a highly effective treatment modality against depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, pain, and more.
Ketamine was originally developed and used as an anesthetic due to its analgesic, hypnotic, and amnestic properties at higher doses. Its use expanded in modern medicine as researchers discovered the extensive benefits in pain management and psychiatry, most notably treatment-resistant depression.
Today, ketamine has emerged as possibly the single greatest breakthrough in antidepressant therapy.
Our highly trained physicians will devise a personalized treatment plan and administer ketamine infusions in a safe and comfortable environment.

Depression Treatment with MeRT at Redefined Mind in Cypress, Texas
Since MeRT is a relatively new treatment, you may have questions about whether it’s right for you. We want to make it easy to get all the information you need, so your first step is a simple phone consultation with our New Patient Coordinator. During this free consultation, you can discuss your symptoms and history, ask questions, and learn about the treatment in full.
At that point, should you decide to get started with MeRT treatment for your Depression symptoms, we will set up a series of appointments. The first two appointments will last approximately 45 minutes each. Then we will begin your assessment period to see how the treatment may benefit you.
Testing
Your first appointment will involve a qEEG, also called brain mapping. This is a simple test performed here in our office. We place a cap on your head to measure electrical activity in the brain, and we record the heart’s electrical signals with an EKG. This testing will map out any areas in the brain which are not performing as they should. Then, our team will carefully analyze the test results and develop a treatment plan customized to your specific condition.
Consultation
Your second appointment, after we have fully reviewed the test results and created the treatment plan, is a one-on-one consultation with the doctor. You may attend this appointment in person, or if it’s more comfortable, virtually from your home.
During your consultation, we will discuss your test results with you and cover our treatment protocols. We’ll also answer your questions and let you know more about what to expect during your assessment period of treatment.
Assessment Period
During the assessment period, we will perform two weeks of treatment (9 days total) followed by a new qEEG to see how you’re responding. We will review the new test results compared to the one we did initially and note any positive changes. We will also look for symptom improvements.
If we see a positive response to treatment, you will have likely noticed some improvements as well. At that point, we will schedule additional MeRT treatment in two-week intervals.
At the end of each two-week period of treatment, we will take another qEEG and EKG to monitor your progress. We will also consult with you every two weeks to confirm that the test results are continuing to show improvements. And we strive to make your experience a positive one. We know how important this treatment is for you and will ensure we create a comfortable experience every step of the way.
You should know that most conditions treated with MeRT provide noticeable results after four to eight weeks of treatment, and these results are long-lasting. However, each patient is different, and the results may vary.
