Oh, I forgot to mention. A lot of us start with severe anxiety (due to uncertainty), and then as that improves, depression becomes a more prominent symptom (more grief and examining the past). I only say this so you know that you are totally normal if you follow a similar path.
Not to thread hijack - but I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat (Anxiety->depression), all I've seen are MFT Councillors though and none of them have recommended any drugs... perhaps it's time to see a psychologist, although I try to avoid meds at all costs (I'm mild ADHD and have been off drugs since a teenager).
How do you guys approach this with your MD? or do you find a special psychologist to see?
