my son suffers from major depression and has been suffering from migraines for a little over a year now. hes seen numerous doctor and they have not been able to get to find out what is causing them. now he has started suffering from severe nightmares almost nightly. any suggestions on what type of doctor to try to get him in with to address the nightmare issues because they are sevearly starting to interfer with his everyday life
The nightmares may be related to major depressive disorder and if so, treatment of depression can provide relief in nightmares as well. In my opinion, you should discuss the issue of nightmares with the psychiatrist who is treating your son and not think of involving a new specialist without first consulting the psychiatrist.
Best wishes.
