Hi. It must be distressful for you to see your child going through this. I would suggest you to see a psychologist.
She or he will propoerly diagnose your child and would further give therapy based on the symptoms. There are a lot of therapies that could be conducted and a lot of them have been able to manage the symptoms.
I would urge you to see a psychologist as early as possible.
