Active Military and Vets – Tricare Coverage for Depression Treatment
Depression Treatment for Active Duty Military, Veterans, and their family members. If you or a loved one are experiencing depression and your initial efforts at treatment were not effective, the Brain Treatment Center of Newport Beach can help. We are part of the Tricare network and we have years of experience working with active duty and veterans with stubborn depression. (And we have a clinic in San Diego as well)
Are you not getting results from medication or struggling with the side-effects? Therapy not doing it for you?
MeRT is a more precisely targeted version of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This is a scientifically formulated and FDA Approved treatment for Multiple Depressive Disorder (MDD) and OCD. This same treatment can also be very effective for many types of Depression.
Our Drug-Free and Non-Invasive depression treatment for military and vets uses a gentle magnetic stimulation to “wake up” specific areas of your brain that have been suppressed as a result of trauma you may have experienced. Results on stubborn depression can be astonishing for those who have not gotten results from their initial attempts at treating their depression.
Our Board Certified MD has worked with hundreds of military personnel and will guide your treatment based on many years of experience.

Depression and Military Service
Depression often stems from experiences during service in addition to the strains of being away from home and family. This emotional burden affects not only you but also your spouse and family members. At Brain Treatment Center, our mission is to provide a lasting and effective solution. We have worked with hundreds of service members and addressed a wide range of issues using our gentle magnetic stimulation. Depression, PTSD and the effects of TBI have all responded to MeRT- tightly targeted and individually designed magnetic stimulation of the brain, opening up blocked or suppressed parts of the brain to achieve balance and function.
MeRT is non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical and has helped those with depression who have not responded well to medications or had difficulty with their side effects. Those who have served their country can be left with a combination of effects from concussions and brain injuries as well as PTSD. Together with TBI and PTSD or just on its own, stubborn depression can take away the quality of life that you deserve. When medication or therapy have been tried and it’s not cutting it, we are here.
We have helped, we can help.
We would like to talk to you.
