Over half a million U.S. troops deployed since 2001 suffer from PTSD,

however, less than 20% will receive adequate care.

There is a need to identify more effective treatments for veterans.

More than 1500 veterans and active duty personnel with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) have learned the Transcendental Meditation® (TM) technique with excellent results.

Here are some of their comments:

The TM Advantage

“You do TM and it helps take care of your mind.”

—STEPHEN T. RIPPE MG, US ARMY (RET.)

Evidence-Based Relief

A number of research studies, involving hundreds of veterans and active service personnel, have shown powerful, positive results from TM practice. These findings are corroborated by the hundreds of published peer-reviewed research studies on TM over the last 45 years showing its effectiveness at reducing stress and stress-related conditions.

Clinically Meaningful Improvement in PTSD

Reduction of PTSD in Multiple Studies

TM and PTSD has been thoroughly researched in five studies, each showing strong effects.


Reduction of PTSD-Related Conditions

Because TM works by reducing stress, it simultaneously reduces all stress-related conditions.
