You need a work comp attorney as soon as possible. A good work comp attorney will fight for all benefits and treatment, including psychiatric and psychological. If there is any causal relationship to the fall, there are means to obtain benefits and treatment for the condition, but he has to be the client and want the benefits/treatment. As long as an authorized phsycian makes the referral or, you can obtain an IME, there is potential for treatment paid for by the insurance carrier.
