Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Yes, but see PCP.: Depends on what causes it. Need to see a psychiatrist/sleep specialist to see if is due to a traumatic event, night mares or night terrors. It depends on what causes it , psychotherapy can help and a medicine that has been used is called prazosin.
