Help needed with anxiety and nervousness

Hi I am working in a private company in data processing related job. For last 2 months the guy who sits next to me is making repeated gestures when I am working. He is also waving his hand when I am at work and distracting me. He is assisted by his buddy who sits next to him. Both are making different types of gestures towards me when I am at work.They are also apt in imitating me. They also cleverly alienated me from our team of 17 people. Because of their actions I am becoming nervous and anxious at my desk. It is becoming difficult for me to work. Am I overtly sensitive or any sane person would feel the same way.Please suggest what I should do. If I continue is there any risk of psychiatric injury. I am feeling nervous and anxious because of their actions. Please suggest

Thanks for your answer . It's private company with 200 employees working. I am working there for last 16 months . I am 29 yrs old male. My problem is how do I prove the harassment. Every one including my Manager is watching the situation but acting as if they have nothing to do with It. How do I retaliate against the harassment. Financial constraints are the reason I stayed till now. I also have to find a new job. As long as the shift continues the harassment goes on. They are doing everything -Mimicking me, gesturing me, moving his hand up and doing while I am working, distracting me . My mental resources have been depleted. I am also suffering from panic attacks  when I am alone.  Please help with your suggestions

How big is your company and is there whistleblower legislation for human rights violations?
How badly do you want to stay in a toxic atmosphere - You can fight them via your boss but might lose so you have to figure how badly you need this job.
How old are all of you?
Which of the 3 workers does your boss like the most?
