Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
Anxiety, depression and OCD are disorders that have many treatment options. Having those feelings during a panic attack is well known of and the medications prescribed for this disorder which are mainly selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors help in controlling the frequency and intensity of the attacks. Kindly consult a psychiatrist for treatment.
Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
