How To Treat Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS)in A Teenager?
I am looking for a Psychiatrist for my 17 year old son. He was diagnosed with CVS(cyclic vomiting syndrome) last year and is only going to school 2-3 times a week. He is capable yet very low achieving. He is at best a low C student and shows very little concern for his future. He talks about moving away from home after High School yet he shows no interest in a job or getting his school work done so he can actually graduate.
