Breakthrough Treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
When you suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the struggle can be overwhelming.
MeRT can help. This drug-free, non-invasive treatment can relieve anxiety, improve sleep, increase self-esteem, and much more!
If you have experienced PTSD, you know the pain it can cause — even years later. And it’s not just the constant feelings of anxiety and depression. It’s also the nightmares, flashbacks, inability to concentrate, jumping at any loud noise, and more. Frankly, PTSD can make you feel you can’t move past the trauma no matter how hard you try.
And you HAVE tried. In fact, many people suffering from PTSD have received many treatments — like therapy and medications — but the trauma still haunts them.
But no matter how hopeless you may feel about your PTSD symptoms, there IS a solution. At Redefined Mind, we offer an entirely different approach to treating depression. It’s called MeRT or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy.
MeRT is a breakthrough treatment that’s non-invasive, drug-free, and lasting. And it’s had some remarkable results when treating PTSD.*
MeRT: A Drug-free, Non-invasive, Long-lasting Solution to PTSD Symptoms
MeRT uses a magnetic field to stimulate and balance brain function, guided by sophisticated imaging and diagnostics. And we have used it to treat PTSD symptoms with great success.
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 PTSD symptoms, such as 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 symptoms. Plus, many people who experience post-traumatic stress also suffer from conditions such as depression and anxiety. MeRT treatment can address those conditions as well. *

Could You Be Suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
According to the American Psychiatric Association, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects around 3.5 percent of US adults every year. And many people don’t realize they’re suffering from PTSD until they’re diagnosed. That’s why it’s vital to see a trained professional so you can get a proper diagnosis.
PTSD can result from experiencing or seeing a terrifying life event, such as a natural disaster, physical or sexual assault, accident, or military combat. It can also happen after exposure to trauma over a long period, such as childhood abuse or abusive relationships.
PTSD can also arise after exposure to trauma over a long period. This can include childhood abuse or long-term abusive relationships.
Some people can recover from extreme trauma in time. But others carry the traumatic stress with them for months or years — and sometimes, the symptoms can get worse.
It’s important to note that PTSD can happen to anyone at any age. And having PTSD doesn’t mean you’re flawed or weak.
And while PTSD may improve with medication and therapy, 20-50% of all patients don’t respond to conventional treatments. Yet, TMS — a key component of MeRT — has shown some remarkable results.*

Depression Treatment 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 PTSD 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 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.
Ketamine Infusions for PTSD Treatment
In addition to MeRT, Redefined Mind offers ketamine to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms.
Ketamine is a highly effective treatment modality against PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, 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.
