I don't know what country you are in but I would go looking for a physiatrist or mental health nurse practitioner to seek diagnosis.
Hi, thanku for your reply, I think you mean psychiatrist? if yes, the type of medicines he is taking are prescribed by his psychiatrist, which is what I meant by doctor, and mental health nurse? I'm not sure a term like that is prevalant in India? Also, is diagnosis even possible? Isn't 14-15 considered pretty late for one? I appreciate all help
If the meds aren't helping then they're wrong. Btw. Why is he on an anxiolytic? Sounds like they've diagnosed him with something else?
