It seems that your Neurologist is right.the fact that the drug
treatment didn't solve the problem,means that the problem is an
emotional one. A Child Psychiatrist or a Psychologist can help you to
cope with your child's problems.Because there are many
psychotherapeutic approach,you and your husband will have to chose one
.And this is not an easy task.
