Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are very young and it is not common to see severe anxiety and panic attacks at your age. But the symptoms like shakiness, twitching, thoughts of killing yourself, depressed mood, worthlessness ideation, lack of happiness, difficulty in breathing, inability to do your work properly etc suggest panic and depressive symptoms. I'd advise you to talk to your teachers or parents and visit a psychiatrist. For such symptoms medicines like SSRIs can help. Fluoxetine, Sertraline etc can help in reducing the depressive symptoms and panic attacks.

Apart from medicines psychological treatment in form of behaviour therapy and relaxation exercise is also equally efficacious when compared to medicines. Please consult a doctor for details.

Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care
