Do psychiatrists actually help?

Should I see a psychiatrist? I don't have insurance, so I'll probably be paying out the ass if I go, and I don't have a steady income right now, that's the main thing that's stopping me from going. I don't particularly like the way my life is going right now, and I feel as if I need a second opinion, or some sort of guidance just to help me get started on the right path again.
About once a week I get panic attacks, mainly because I think about dying, and the thought of not being alive and conscious some day in the future scares me. I just seize up no matter what I'm doing and I can feel my heart sink with adrenaline, and I feel like I'm going to pass out. I also have almost no short-term memory; I can forget things in 30 seconds or less, and I'm finding it harder and harder to recall what I did the day before as days pass. I don't feel depressed or lonely, but I haven't exactly felt like myself over the past few months, as if something is off and I just don't know what. I find it increasingly difficult to talk to people as time goes on, even my closest friends and family members. I'm losing interest in all of my hobbies, and I don't feel like doing anything in general most of the time.
Would I just be wasting a psychiatrists time, or are those good enough reasons to try to go see one? Is it normal for someone at age 21 to have this many problems materialize out of nowhere?
