A member asked:
Is it ever ok to slap someone's face to wake them from a state of panic attacks or anxiety attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: A gentle shake by the shoulders, not enough to cause head to snap back and front, enough to gain attention. Better to verbally help them to calm down first. Physical interaction should really be avoided.
