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)
2 caps twice a day before food.
Tab. Shankhavati
2 tabs after food. (suck and eat like we eat hajmola)
Syp. Prasham
4 tsp at bed time.

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.

Considering your situation, it's essential to look into the imbalance in your doshas. In Ayurveda, depression, sleep issues, and loss of appetite often relate to an imbalance in the Vata and possibly Kapha doshas. First, I recommend starting with a simple daily routine to balance Vata, such as waking up and going to sleep at the same times daily. This helps regulate your internal clock, which is crucial for sleep.
When it comes to diet, it's important to rekindle your digestive fire, or agni. Begin with light, warm, and nourishing foods like a bowl of khichdi or light vegetable soup. Avoid raw, cold, and heavily processed foods—these can aggravate Vata. Ghee is also beneficial for you; consider adding a teaspoon of warm ghee to your meals as it helps in digestion and nourishment of the body tissues.
For improving sleep, herbal teas like chamomile or a mixture of ashwagandha and milk before bedtime can promote relaxation. Try also incorporating abhyanga, self-massage with warm sesame oil, into your daily routine, as it is known to calm Vata. Practice this for about 20 minutes and then take a warm shower.
Making time for meditation or yoga nidra daily is highly recommended, as they can help reduce stress levels and promote better sleep. Gentle yoga poses focusing on grounding and relaxation can significantly help in restoring your natural balance.
Ensure your bedroom environment is conducive to sleep by reducing noise and keeping the room dark and cool. Avoid screens at least an hour before bed, as this can stimulate Vata further and disrupt your sleep cycle.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider to ensure a holistic approach tailored to your needs. Balancing these aspects holistically takes time, but with persistence, you may find a harmonious balance and improvement in your symptoms.
