General & Family Physician,  's  Response
welcome to hcm,
I really appreciate your concern,
You have symptoms like anxiety and depression. These symptoms can cause reduction of sleep and insomnia and can be really worse. For these symptoms of depression I'd advise you to consult a psychiatrist for help.

Medicines like SSRIs especially Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are really helpful in such symptoms. These drugs will help to reduce the anxiety and will help in good sleep also. For relief of anxiety attacks medicines like Benzodiazepines as Lorazepam, Clonazepam etc can be used. These medicines will help to reduce the anxiety and can even be used for SOS basis only. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks. regards.
