Hello Gurshan.
As I can see you are only 24yrs old so please donot loose hope and think you have something too much serious.
Depression and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.
What you should do:
Avoid all triger factors.
Whenever you fell something is triggering you do either some physical activity or concentrate of your breath.
Daily workout is important
Do your gym or some kind of rigours exercise so that you exhaust and leave bad thoughts behind. You are young so gym would be beneficial over Yoga as you need to know proper technique to do rigorous yoga.
AnulomVilom, Bhramari, Sitali, Kapalbhati all these pranayams to be done early in the morning.
Reduce screen time.. No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep.
Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep.
Filter the content of data you consume.. Let it be spiritual or positive... too much motivation can also cause depression.
Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.
100 steps after both meals are must.
Eat only home cooked food... Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.
If you are away from your loved ones make it a routine to speak to them atleast twice a day.. That will help you heal more quickly
Tab. Ampachak Vati
2 tabs twice a day before food.
Cap. Memorine (S.G.Phytopharma)

Syp. Prasham

Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts..
Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time.. If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)
Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.
Donot get yourself into any addictions.
Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.
