Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety

Hi, my name's Brian and am a 23 year old male. For the past year I've been suffering from depression and anxiety. It's a constant struggle to become "normal" again and live my life freely and as happy as I once have. I've seen multiple doctors and have taken multiple tests. The only thing I haven't done is talk to a psychiatrist about my issues, which I have a scheduled appointment coming next month. Basically, I'm looking for any kind of help and fast so I can put these troubles to a lasting end. I've felt lightheaded for a year now on a constant basis. The only time it seems to wear away is when I first awake in the morning, and when I start getting tired at night. I receive "shocking" feelings through my body from time to time and have also felt heart palpitations on and off. It's all very scary, but I've been told that it's nothing more than my anxiety and possibly stress. I've had blood tests, a CAT Scan, an Echocardiogram, ECG testing, and even wore a heart monitor for a 2 week period. All of which with the results coming back normal. It feels like I'm only fighting myself. I recently discovered that I'm slightly agoraphobic as well. My symptoms worsen any time I find myself in public places or large buildings. I just want these problems to go away as quick as possible because this past year for me has been a living nightmare. It even prohibits me from continuing with my education and work. Please help me. Any advice will be much appreciated and as soon as you can. Thank you so much.
