It would likely help: A psychiatric evaluation would likely result in targeting the depression which if treated effectively can alleviate some or all of the other symptoms. Other things such as psychotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and assessing possible addiction issues are important as well.

Yes: The key word is "struggling" as it indicated the degres of distress you have. There are good treatments for these problems. Get a good evaluation by a psychiatrist and treatment would consist of therapy as well as medications.

Severe anxiety and ocd. If ssris helped with your depression but not anxiety 3 years back but now after 2 days cause increased energy, terrible insomnia and a decreased need for sleep following extreme anxiety /panic does this always mean bipolar?
I am experiencing panic attack, moderate shortness of breath of sudden onset, that gets worse with psychological stress, exercise or physical activity, that is unaffected by lying down, and that gets better with rest, and that is unaffected by sitting upright, breast pain, stomach upset, emotional problems, feeling anxious, feeling depressed, trouble sleeping, and hopelessness.
