I think you need to do step 1 first, which would be to find a specialist, preferably a younger one. You need to find the person who's closest to the best and most recent research.

I think the diagnostic aspect is the most important.

Since a lot of medicine is like a naturalistic science experiment, you need to be patient and just see how things work out. Also, you probably want to take notes in a journal so that you can track things.
