Yes, to me this sounds like a severe/acute panic/anxiety disorder. Sometimes things can get so bad that the only course of action is some kind of medical intervention.

Above two courses have been mentioned: 1) medication and 2) cognitive behavioural therapy. Sometimes, if it is a severe enough case, a combination of the two are employed.

It might be expensive, but I don't see any alternatives to the severity of the situation.
