Hello.
I am new to this group and was hoping parents/ carers would be able to offer advice or share their experiences. My son is 15 and has struggled with anxiety over the past 14months, he suffers with panic attacks and struggles to leave home it is having an enormous impact on his life.
He is open to CAMHs and has regular online appointments, he will make some progress until he has another panic attack which depletes him.

CAMHs/ psychiatrist wish to see him in person but he cannot tolerate being in the car for very long and will become extremely distressed.
My understanding is the psychiatrist cannot visit him at home, I feel very stuck but considering seeking a private psychiatrist. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
