Not so much. Diazepam is just Valium... AKA chill pill.
In her case, perhaps it's a "Bill pill"
It is for severe or acute cases

See the post right above yours.
It's not an auto-injector... it's a flashlight.

It is widely prescribed for calming anxiety... even a little bit of anxiety. Like nervousness before going to get your wisdom teeth pulled.
The pen is merely a delivery mechanism, which is no indicator of the condition being treated.
A flashlight is used for shining light on stuff.
It does not however look like the object in the video in which she appears to be having a seizure of some kind and he rushes to her side.
