Not Normal: Mania and panic attacks aren't normal. Clearly they are causing you to suffer. Which psychiatrist previously gave you care? Try that person first. Contact your health insurance agency to find other providers in their network if you can't get an appointment with your previous psychiatrist.

Correct : You need eval and rx. How about your previous, call your coverage for info about who they cover and are taking patients, can always go to the ER and maybe be admitted for a day or 2 to get stabilized , unclear how much treatment of any sort you might get in er , but hopefully a specific referral Best Wishes
