Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Episodes Of Depression And Panic Attacks

Hello, Two years ago, in highschool, I experienced what was diagnosed as depression and bipolarity from academic stress. I experienced things like sensory overload, fits of rage and tears, lack of breath, extreme fear of certain things and an ever increasing need to improve my dropping marks. I got my parents to find me a psychologist and I had been on meds for a year, after which I stopped. I am now in first year medical school, and I think I may be having a relapse. The first thing I noticed was the sensory overload, then the lack of sleep and lack of breath, and nowadays, an increasing frequency of panic attacks. I have been nearing my first semester exams, but I had been on top of my schedule so I don t understand why this is happening. Should I restart my meds?
