We are committed to restoring your brain health.

Trauma affects each person differently, but it often leads to disruptions in the brain’s frontal region, impacting emotional regulation, cognitive function, and daily life. Individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), including many veterans, often experience heightened stress, mood instability, and difficulty processing emotions. These challenges not only affect them but also take a toll on their loved ones.

At Brain Treatment Center – Columbus, we use advanced qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) and EKG (electrocardiogram) technology to analyze brain activity and identify disruptions in neural communication. This allows us to develop a customized MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) treatment plan tailored to each individual’s unique brain function.

Through targeted, non-invasive stimulation, MeRT helps restore balance to brainwave activity, promoting improved sleep, enhanced cognitive processing, and greater emotional stability. By addressing the underlying neurological patterns associated with PTSD, we aim to support long-term healing and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PTSD, and how does it affect people?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Individuals with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. These symptoms can interfere with daily life, making it challenging to function normally.
What are the common symptoms of PTSD?
Common symptoms of PTSD include:
  • Re-experiencing the trauma: This can involve flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts related to the traumatic event.
  • Avoidance: Steering clear of places, people, or activities that remind one of the trauma.
  • Negative changes in thinking and mood: Feelings of hopelessness, memory problems, or difficulty maintaining close relationships.
  • Increased arousal: Being easily startled, feeling tense, having difficulty sleeping, or experiencing angry outbursts.
It’s important to note that symptoms can vary in intensity over time.
Who can develop PTSD? Is it only for combat veterans?
PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced a traumatic event, not just combat veterans. This includes survivors of physical or sexual assault, accidents, natural disasters, or any event perceived as life-threatening. While it’s commonly associated with military service, PTSD is prevalent among civilians who have faced various forms of trauma.
How is PTSD diagnosed?
Diagnosing PTSD involves a comprehensive evaluation by a mental health professional. They assess symptoms based on criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which includes the presence of specific symptoms lasting more than a month and causing significant distress or impairment in daily functioning.
What treatment options are available for PTSD?
Effective treatments for PTSD often include psychotherapy approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals process and reframe negative thoughts about the trauma. Medications, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can also be prescribed to manage symptoms. Additionally, emerging therapies like Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) are being explored for their potential benefits in alleviating PTSD symptoms.
