Major Depression + Generalized Anxiety Disorder (etc.) here. I
posted a description of one of my "major episodes" last year. It's a little different from what you described, but we've commonalities.
My psychiatrist knows about my episodes and we keep close track of them. Although I'm on meds (antidepressants and a mood stabilizer), unfortunately the best preventative has been social isolation. I'm stress-intolerant and have a low startle threshold.
No one has yet suggested hospitalization for me. I have too little advance warning before an "episode" (seconds).
