Yeah you should call the school and find out whats going on there and if he is on medz and they are not helping call your doctor back and let him know maybe he needs a different med. My son was bullied alot in school and he went through a time
when he didn't want to go to school i ended up taking him everyday and walking him to his class and picking him up everyday and then come to find out he didn't like his teacher the teacher was very mean and yelled alot and that made my son stressed the next school year he was better. So I would start by calling the school. Good luck

If he has been bullied at school best to speak to the school counselors and principle so it doesn't happen again. He may have an anxiety disorder but that's not a phobia. That's very real and needs to be addressed.
