Actually talking to someone not only can change your brain, it's a regular happening. Have you ever heard of "learning"?

Sure but does learning change behavior?

I know plenty of people who have attended therapy and not sure I know a single person who has changed. It’s a waste of time.

Try Dr. Pine at NIH. If you son gets into the trial, everything, including meds if needed, is free and your DS will be compensated for his time. My daughter was in the trial and the difference is amazing. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/labs-at-nimh/join-a-study/children/children-anxiety-disorders.shtml

What’s the compensation? For the blood draws it would need to be good.

Well if you don’t need it and think it’s a waste of time why are you here? Go away.
