Canadian Forces Mental Health Facts

Veterans are more likely to report a mental disorder than those who are still members of the CAF

CAF members who became veterans since 2002 reported higher rates of mental disorder, as compared with those who were still in the Forces in 2018.

Difficulties in transitioning to civilian life

More than one-third of veterans reported that they had a difficult transition to civilian life. And those who reported having experienced symptoms consistent with a mental disorder between 2002 and 2018 were more likely to experience difficulty transitioning to civilian life.

Up To 1/5 Have PTSD

In a recent survey self diagnosed rates of PTSD in veterans has risen from 2% in 2002 up to nearly 20% in 2019.

Stigma of Seeking Care

Military personnel were significantly more likely than civilians to have perceived stigma towards their mental health. However, military personnel were also significantly more likely than civilians to have sought care.

How Deep TMS Helps Veterans Regain Their Lives

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS)

The Brainsway Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) represents a significant advancement in treating depression and anxiety, offering deeper and wider brain stimulation compared to traditional rTMS. Its unique H-Coil design enables more intense magnetic pulses to target deeper neural structures effectively.

dTMS, approved by the FDA, uses magnetic fields to activate neural networks in the brain to improve symptoms of mental health and addiction conditions, including:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
  • Anxiety
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Smoking, Drugs & Alcohol Addictions
