From what you have written, it sounds to me like your depression is being driven largely by psychological issues, and not by biological ones. This could account for the failure of antidepressants to help you. You may have some very destructive psychological habits that need to be addressed professionally. They will have been in place for years, so it would be unrealistic for you to think that one or two visits to a psychologist is going to treat them successfully. Your anxiety is perhaps more biological. It is appropriate to treat it aggressively pharmacologically. However, it is very likely that psychotherapy can ease your anxiety along with treating more directly the depression that you report. I can't be sure of anything, of course.
