Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan Joins Mental Health Tech Company to Help Veterans

"This is personal for me," Ryan said in a statement about the move. He emphasized that the transition from military to civilian life can be brutal, and that too many veterans are suffering in silence. INVI MindHealth uses a non-invasive therapy called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, to treat conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The company's approach targets specific areas of the brain to help regulate mood and reduce symptoms without medication.

Ryan is known for his blunt, no-nonsense style, both as a former special operator and as the host of "The Shawn Ryan Show," where he interviews other veterans, athletes, and public figures. He has been open about his own mental health battles, including suicidal thoughts after leaving the SEAL teams. By joining the board, he hopes to bring more awareness to effective treatments and break the stigma around seeking help.

The partnership is a natural fit. Ryan brings a trusted voice to a field where many veterans are skeptical of traditional therapy or medication. INVI MindHealth aims to expand access to TMS therapy, which is already approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder. Ryan's involvement is expected to help bridge the gap between cutting-edge medical technology and the warriors who need it most.
