He has been diagnosed with conversion disorder in Mass. and now he is living in Florida.  He has already seen two Psychiatrist who don't know how to handle him.  I need a Doctor who has treated patients with this disorder and has helpe the patients.  I hate going to a Doctor who said he can help and alls he/she is doing is charging the Insurance Co. and not helping at all.  Then the depresssion and anxiety seems to get worst with frustration.
Do you know of any Doctors/Psychiatrists who work together to cure this disorder.  
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi there!

Well, without knowing the relevant clinical details or a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms and without a diagnosis at hand it would be difficult to suggest management plan. Possible cause that may need to be considered include seizures, neuro-degenerative disorders, neuro-psychiatric causes etc. If a diagnosis of a conversion disorder has already been made by a medical professional, she would need to be seen by a psychiatrist for appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
