Yes. It is essential to visit Neuropsychiatrist. It is important to identify the underlying cause, the severity of the problem and the impact. Based on these findings, appropriate treatment can be determined. These symptoms can either suggest parasomnia or seizures or some other underlying physical or psychological or sleep disorder.
