Dear user
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. Anxiety symptoms are part of your body's defense mechanism and without those defense mechanisms, you body will not be able to defend itself or perform reflex actions. Understanding those symptoms and accordingly changing lifestyle are essential to overcome the scare and panic associated with it. Depression needs psychotherapy treatment along with medicines. I suggest Cognitive Behavior therapy and life style changes.
