panic attacks

are there any anti depressants to help with panic attacks? I am experiencing panic attacks,
I have recently started my degree, since my completion of my diploma level in 2012, I feel the 4years break I took from school is too much and I have forgotten most of the stuff and I fear I will not make it, and now im just having these panic attacks. I want to go and see a Doctor but im not sure if il be helped.

I'd definitely try therapy first before going on medication.  If you do need medication, I'd see a psychiatrist, not your regular doc.  Good luck.

There are medications to help with both depression and anxiety.  The first step you would have to take, is to see a doctor ( health care provider), and explain the issues you are experiencing. From there, you can ask the doctor what he/she recommends in regard to medications and treatment. There is also the option of therapy; usually your doctor would have to refer you to a therapist if that's something that's offered to you...
