What is MeRT Treatment for Depression?
MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, combines three procedures:
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS, an FDA cleared therapy),
- Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG), and
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG).
The EEG is key to the success of the MeRT treatment. That’s because patients who are clinically depressed have markers that we can see in their EEG studies. The EEG can show an imbalance in brainwave activity. Once we identify that imbalance, we can then strengthen the brainwave activity. As a result, this can reduce depression symptoms.
Your EEG is unique to you. We use YOUR EEG results to guide treatment exactly where it’s needed to ensure the best possible results.
According to the Mayo Clinic, more than three million people are diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder every year. They also report on new research that shows how the altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain may contribute to depression.
So you can see why MeRT has been successfully used to treat depression, particularly when medications haven’t helped or have caused complex side effects. And as we have mentioned, MeRT is FDA-approved for Multiple Drug Resistant Depression.
We hope this helps you understand the MeRT treatment plan better. MeRT is highly individualized for each person, and as a result, many patients have been able to go off their medications for depression.
“Everyone experiences their world a little bit differently.”
“EEGs (electrical pictures of the brain) can tell us when there are abnormalities in neural networks. … And we run that data through a normative database, and we can see, for example, if somebody has an area in the left prefrontal cortex that’s cycling at two Hertz — which means that they may be only processing information two times per second — whereas the rest of their brain may be cycling 11 times per second. That information mismatch may manifest for somebody who has depression. They may lack motivation, feel lethargic, not want to get out of bed.”
But in a different scenario… let’s say it is the visual cortex that’s cycling now at 30 times per second. If you’re scanning your environment 30 times per second, but [are] only able to process it 10 or 11 times per second, this information overload may manifest as anxiety. And it’s not a one-to-one correlation. Everyone experiences their world a little bit differently.
We can look at these signals and find areas that are abnormal, [then we] use this FDA cleared technology, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, to navigate to the area that’s not working properly and try to stimulate it and remind it that it wants to fire at a certain frequency and a certain rate.”
– Dr. Erik Won, President of Wave Neuroscience, from his appearance on the Broken Brain podcast

Depression was the constant feeling of wanting to quit and retreat to my home, except I already would be home. MeRT helped me shed this feeling in less than two weeks. I couldn’t believe I had spent so many years feeling this way!” – Brain Treatment Center Patient
