“We have just finished our first round of Mert therapy… Gains so far – our 5-year old girl who already has great language capabilities but would often not respond at all to us (low receptivity), started becoming very outspoken about what is on her mind and giving us waaaay more insight into her thought processes and overall just way more responsive. I feel like I’m truly getting to know her for the first time. She has been able to have more patience (previously could not wait for us to finish a conversation to ask her question and would end up exploding), now she counts while waiting for her turn. She also is more easily taking turns with toys when sharing with friends and siblings. Her rigidity of thinking is very much down. She can now go with the flow much more and can be reasoned with if things don’t happen the same way as before or as she expected. She’s less picky with food, for example would previously eat a burger in each of its individual components but now eats it ‘combined’. There’s a heap more but these are the main ones. The only tricky thing has been increased agitation and minor hitting but that has since faded to zero. I think she had a lot of brain activity increase that might have caused her to feel overwhelmed temporarily. Also, should say in addition to us parents, her Nana and uncles were taken aback by her responsiveness to them after our time away for the therapy. She would never say hello or goodbye and now says it all and engaged in back and forth conversation with them too.” _ Mother of child with autism
“Before I started TMS I suffered from severe depression and suicidal ideations. I just finished my treatment and looking back to how I used to be and think and significantly improved. I haven’t had any suicidal ideations for about a month and I now have the will to live. I take suggestions and advice and I can honestly say I’m happy. Never thought I would ever say that. ” – Morgan, Google Review
“What an amazing team – and a miracle therapy. If you’re battling depression, Dr Patel and his team are fabulous to work with. TMS is a much better treatment approach over medications and the treatment is only a few minutes each day. Well worth it to be able to live without the debilitating symptoms depression. I highly recommend the TMS Institute of Arizona to those suffering from depression or other mental health-related symptoms. They offer a patient consultation too, and will take the time to answer your questions and really understand your symptoms. TMS is a much better approach to treating depression than just prescribing pills.” – Kim, Google Review
“I felt like I was alone even though I was surrounded by love and care. It was just a cloud that would linger over my life every now and again. This helped me understand what was going on in my head and after a month of treatment, I was grateful to be DEPRESSION FREE and MEDICATION FREE for the first time in my life.” — MeRT® Patient
“I’m two or three months past my last treatment, and I can honestly say my brain is in a better place than it was before. The emotional highs and lows I was living with have been stabilized. My cognition took off during that period and it hasn’t slowed down since.” – Nick Hardwick, Retired NFL Center, Chargers
“I’d just always ‘outworked’ it. After the last concussion, that wasn’t an option, even though I had previously walked off a dozen concussions. It’s vital to know that not all TBIs result in massive concussions, but they all add to the erosion of the mind and self, if untreated.
Through EEG, MeRT, and some subtle sleep and attention shifts, I’ve had a radical, nourishing, strengthening, and dare I say, “healing,” that has brought me to see life through a filter I’ve never known was available. If you are damaged, confused, and at the end, know that you have allies that you’ve never met before.” – Tait Fletcher, Actor and Stunt Performer
“Within 4 days of being treated, I was sleeping the night. My anger had subsided significantly, & I was smiling & enjoying things again. I was able to focus & concentrate on information much more efficiently & easily, & did not get lost in conversation as I had prior. My chronic headaches had ceased, my balance was returning, & my ringing in my ears, (tinnitus) had also ceased.” – Marine EOD Tech
“Of all my injuries, by far the worst were the ones you could not see. I had degraded to the point of not being able to leave my home because of panic attacks and severe anxiety. I could not hide from this feeling, and no mediation could numb it. I was living in despair and physical pain every day without reprieve, that is until I was able to get treatment. I underwent neural restorative therapy for two months with total symptom resolution. I can function again at work, and can spend much needed time with my family. I have my sense of well-being back and a clarity of thought I haven’t had in many years.” – Army Veteran
“It was absolutely terrifying to not know what was wrong with me or how to fix the problem. MeRT not only identified the deteriorated state of my brainwave activity, they restored its function… I consider the healing I experienced to be nothing short of a miracle.” – US Army Veteran
“Everything changed when I started treatment. Within two weeks, I was sleeping better. I was off all 12 of the meds I was on when I began treatment, and I was starting to enjoy life again. After the first month, I was socializing with people again, I was able to work out for the first time in years, and I started to help my wife with the bills and our budget. A conservative estimate is that I have had a 60–70% reduction of the symptoms I listed above and have a whole new lease on life.” – MeRT patient treating after multiple head injuries
“In the ensuing months after the concussion, I just wasn’t myself… My academics began to suffer as well. I didn’t feel right. My EEG showed me that something had physically changed with how my brain functioned. After three days of treatment, I felt substantially better. After two weeks, I felt like I did before my injury. MeRT was life-changing.” – Collegiate Soccer Player
“What I’ve experienced is a 180-degree change in how my mind works, comparable to coming out of the dark and into the light. Instead of the inner focus I now see opportunity and a willingness to get on and do things I’ve always wanted to achieve.” – Freddy – TMS Patient
“I’m back! My TBI turned me into someone I barely recognized. I was depressed, mean, and short-tempered. I pushed through life filled with frustration and a deep sense of sadness that this was it. I just had to keep pushing through life with an overwhelming tiredness. I’m so glad I was wrong. I think my direct reports and family are even more thankful. This treatment changed everything, and I am forever thankful.” – MeRT patient with TBI
“I was offered the opportunity to get MeRT to help with the effects of the TBI’s I had endured over the 21 yrs of Military Service. I am absolutely glad I did so. I felt the positive effects of the treatment in the first 3 days. I had irritability issues and sleeping issues among other things. I started sleeping through the night on day 3. And not just sleeping but sleeping hard and dreaming. So I know I was in R.E.M sleep. It has helped me focus, feel more energetic, less irritable, more caring to others and helped with joint pain and tinnitus. ” – Veteran
“Before trying TMS I had tried numerous treatments for treatment resistant major depression and anxiety. TMS has helped me achieve remission where other treatments have failed, without experiencing the numerous and negative side effects of medication. I found treatment to be pain free and hassle free. My practitioner was very efficient, knowledgeable and helpful. Having achieved remission, I am continuing with maintenance sessions to maintain the fantastic results of treatment, particularly in the darker winter months!” – TMS patient
“Combat has robbed me of the ability to show my husband spontaneous affection. My husband’s PTSD is so severe that if I reach for him, he flinches. I have not been able to go up behind him & put my arms around him for 7 years. I was finally able to for the first time yesterday, after only 2 days of treatment. I actually walked up behind him & he didn’t jump or flinch as I hugged him. He instead, turned around & hugged me tight, kissed me & said, ‘ I love you, love.’ He’s usually never affectionate, loving or happy towards me. That’s a miracle.” – Wife of Marine Veteran who suffered TBI
“We have seen dramatic change in Alex. He is so calm, happy & positive. He wakes more alert. The man I knew was inside of him has finally come out. We are so much closer as a couple and the relationship with our kids and him is so much more functional. The VA has treated him for the past 6 years and he’s undergone so much individual and group therapy, but it has NEVER had this positive effect on him. I will forever be grateful.” – Wife of Army Veteran
“The experience I had was nothing short of a miracle for me. The treatment I received has completely changed my life for the better. I was able to reset my circadian rhythm & sleep through the night without medication. My nightmares became few and far between. My anxiety lessened almost immediately & I became able to do the things I used to enjoy like going to the gym, cooking & reading. I became able to focus my attention again & my mood lightened a lot. My fiancé’ & family immediately noticed the change in me & said that it was like they had gotten their ‘old’ Sarah back.” – Army Veteran
“At the end of the course of TMS, I didn’t think it had achieved anything and was somewhat disillusioned. However, objectively others, including those closest to me, had noticed a significant improvement and I had been able to resume work. As the weeks went by having completed TMS, I completely recovered and have been symptom-free for months now. I’m now not just “not depressed”, I am actually really enjoying all the aspects of my life. I’d recommend TMS as a treatment to anyone who doesn’t experience quick improvement with antidepressants.” – TMS Patient
“Soon after I started treatment, I started to feel the effects – it was as quick as three days. I felt a smile returning to my face rather than the sadness that I’d experienced for such a long time. The feeling got better and better as the weeks went by. For the first time in 24 years, I feel better; I’m playing my guitar and spending time with my family again. My brain feels alive, almost like it’s been sleeping since the abuse I suffered and it’s woken up.“ – Accelerated TMS Patient
“I’ve tried many, many treatments before. None have really worked but I was very very surprised and very relieved when TMS treatment worked. OCD attacked every aspect of my life and I almost lost it all. In the beginning, I hid the condition from friends and had to defer my university course for a year. Until TMS treatment, I had given up hope of living a normal life but now I feel positive about the future. I am hugely grateful to my wife, family and friends who stuck by me and supported me through the years of torment.”
