At least 60,000 veterans took their own lives between 2008 and 2017, even though the VA has made su***de prevention among veterans a top priority.

Many veterans aren't given resources to successfully integrate back into society. Once they return from deployment, they often lose their sense of belonging and family.

Experiencing severe trauma can change how a person's brain operates, but TMS therapy can help. We're happy to work with veterans to create treatment plans that are affordable and work for them.

Transformations staff member Taylor shares the story of one of her most memorable patients:

“When Jayne S. first came in, she was barely functioning. Her husband and friend would help fill out her paperwork. She barely spoke. She began treatments in January 2019 and was still in the same state. She was quiet and flat. As treatments progressed, Jayne’s smile got bigger and her laughter became louder. I told her that I was so happy to see such big improvements, it was like she was a different person. She told me that she had ‘not felt this good since the 1970’s!’”

Last year, Selena Gomez checked herself into a treatment facility to deal with some mental health issues she was struggling with.

"...I was suffering mentally and emotionally, and I wasn’t able to stay all buttoned up and together. I wasn’t able to hold a smile or to keep things looking normal...It felt as though all of my pain, anxiety, and fear washed over me all at once, and it was one of the scariest times of my life."

We’re glad celebrities are using their public platforms to fight the stigma surrounding mental wellness. We hope more step forward and share their stories!

TMS therapy fights depression in at least 60 percent of patients, but the mental health condition won't disappear overnight.

"I always tell my patients that they are not alone and to have patience. I feel future patients should know that TMS is not an overnight fix, but with patience, consistency and a positive attitude, they will feel better.”

Should other states do the same thing?

Did you know?

What you eat doesn't just affect your weight - it could also impact your mood, emotional well-being and even long-term mental conditions like anxiety and depression.

Research found that healthy, well-balanced diets that focus on vegetables, fruits and protein may improve mood and fight depression. Diets heavy on sugar, processed and deep-fried foods can intensify negative feelings and worsen issues like depression.
