Hi,
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.
