No! Find ways to calm him down and avoid the ER
Chronic anxiety is best managed through a primary physician or psychiatrist. Acute changes in behavior should be addressed in the emergency department including suicidal thoughts, threats against others, overdoses and any other acute concerns. We can always help in a panic attack.
