Hello thanks for asking from HEALTH CARE MAGIC

You have severe depression and anxiety. These symptoms results in poor function on day to day basis, irritability and emotional outbursts etc. The symptoms of panic are also there. As these symptoms are causing significant impairment I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for help.
Yes these symptoms will improve with medicines. Medicines like SSRIs are sertraline, fluoxetine, paroxetine can help to improve such symptoms. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.
Apart from that try relaxation exercises, yoga to keep yourself relaxed.
