We're doing everything we could to help them out. But yeah, it's funny, sometimes these occurrences change your total life trajectory in ways that you don't anticipate.
Imagine a world where PTSD could be treated with cutting-edge technology. In this episode of The FitMind Podcast, host Liam McClintock chats with Dr. Erik Won, President of Wave Neuroscience, about his groundbreaking work in mental health. Dr. Won, a Harvard-trained doctor and former U.S. Navy Flight Surgeon, delves into his personal journey that led him to focus on PTSD treatments. He shares the tragic event that sparked his interest and his relentless pursuit of solutions through neurotechnology.
The highlight of their conversation is magnetic e-resonance therapy (MeRT), a promising technique that uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to improve brain coherence. By targeting specific brain areas with precise magnetic pulses, MeRT aims to alleviate symptoms of PTSD, depression, and other mental disorders. Dr. Won explains how this technology differs from traditional neuromodulation methods and its potential to revolutionize mental healthcare. But it's not just about the technology. Dr.
Won also discusses the real-world challenges of bringing these innovations to patients. From navigating legal and ethical considerations to collaborating with academic institutions, he provides a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to implement such advanced treatments. His insights offer a glimpse into the future of mental wellness and the collaborative efforts needed to push the boundaries of what's possible.
Whether you're a mental health professional, someone affected by PTSD, or simply curious about the latest in neurotech, this episode is packed with valuable information and inspiration. Tune in to hear how Dr. Won's work could change lives and what the future holds for mental health treatments.
