Mental health is not just about the mind—research shows that it profoundly affects the body. Research from Deloitte and Meharry School of Global Health shows that untreated mental health issues can increase the risk of conditions like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. When mental health professionals collaborate with other medical specialties to focus on the whole person, the result is more effective, long-lasting treatment plans that promote both mental and physical health.

A conversation with a doula: "Childbirth can be incredibly empowering, but for some women, it can also be triggering—especially for those with a history of sexual assault. It's helpful for the medical staff to be made aware of any past traumas, as they may resurface during labor. There are so many triggers that can come up unexpectedly, from physical exams to the loss of control in the moment." The reality is that births rarely follow a set script, and this unpredictability can contribute to psychological birth trauma. According to the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, childbirth-related PTSD affects 6.6 million mothers and 1.7 million co-parents worldwide annually, making it a substantial public health concern. How can medical teams, doulas, and mental health professionals better support trauma survivors during and after childbirth? Let’s start the conversation.

Welcome to the Prism Community Institute for Advanced Psychiatry!

Meet Hila Turgeman, QA & RA Manager at GrayMatters Health! With a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering and extensive experience in quality assurance, Hila joined GMH driven by her passion for mental health and innovative medical devices. She is dedicated to advancing non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical treatments within the field of mental health. In her role, Hila ensures our quality management system meets the highest regulatory standards, overseeing FDA and other regulatory submissions, while also leading quality management system activities, such as corrective actions and employee trainings.

Outside of work, Hila is a devoted mother of three, enjoys reading, and finds satisfaction in making a positive impact through her work.

The last 12 months went by so fast, and yet, in some ways, felt like 12 years. For many of us, it felt even longer than that. Endless, with no end in sight. I believe that for the GrayMatters team, work, and knowing that what we do matters, now more than ever, served as an escape. A sanctuary. A way to pour meaning or perhaps extract meaning out of all of this. These last 12 months coincided with our Prism for PTSD launch. Every new customer and every testimonial coming from a patient living with #PTSD, is a reward. A reminder that what we do matters. I am proud of the GMH team who stay sharp and attentive, focusing on the needs of our customers and the patients they care for. I am proud of the GMH team for their comradery no matter where they are around the globe. I am proud of the GMH team for their ability to move back and forth between talking business and talking about emotions, all the while supporting one other. We are all human beings with a wide range of emotions. Some are individual emotions – happiness, fear, worry, and some are collective emotions of belonging to a community. Experiencing these emotions, together, allows us to function and grow as a team. We will keep doing just that. Thank you all. GrayMatters Health

Our CMO, Dr. Aron Tendler presented a poster, Amygdala-EFP Neurofeedback: Effect on PTSD Symptom Clusters at International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) in Boston. This research presents the findings of additional analysis performed on individual CAPS-5 symptom clusters from the pivotal Prism for PTSD clinical trial. Results highlight Prism’s potential as a comprehensive adjunctive treatment in the management of PTSD. The observed effect sizes suggest clinically significant per-cluster results, individually pointing at a reduction of: ✅ Distressing memories and nightmares ✅ Avoidance characteristics ✅ Hypervigilance and exaggerated startle responses Additionally, results showed enhanced emotional regulation and positive self-perception.
