My son has been diagnosed with ADD, Generalized Anxiety, OCD and recently Derealization disorder. He is being seen at UMASS and is awaiting a counselling appointment with a resident on the 11th. he had bee placed on ativan for the recent increase in panic attacks but he suffers with the continued derealization feelings. There are few specialists listed in the worcester ma area if any and to go to Boston I need to transfer him to a primary care physician there which could take months. what can i do?
