What Causes Frequent Attacks Of Panic And Depression?

I think I may be suffering from depression ut I am unsure. Since August last year, I have been suffering panic attacks ( I have only had 3 all in the space of about 3 weeks ) all because I was thinking about death and that there is no escape. For about 2 months afterwards I was thinking about dying all the time and what happens afterwards and it affected my work and relationships. I helped myself and have kind of gotten over it now but still think about it and worry and also worry that I am going to go through the fear or a panic attack again. Do you think I should just carry on because I am feeling a lot better now?
