What should not be a reason for considering a patient dangerous?

Considering a patient as dangerous typically revolves around behaviors and traits that suggest a potential risk of harm either to themselves or to others. In this context, extreme anxiety alone does not inherently signify a danger. While anxious individuals may exhibit distressing behaviors, their anxiety does not necessarily imply that they would act in a harmful way.

On the other hand, aggressive behavior, posing a risk to themselves or others, and confusion could all be indicators of potential danger. Aggressive behavior may suggest an inclination to harm, confusion could lead to unpredictable actions, and posing a risk indicates an established assessment of danger to oneself or others. Therefore, extreme anxiety stands out as a condition that does not typically warrant the classification of dangerousness in the same way that other behaviors might.
