My pdoc just calls it "anxiety-induced depression", believes it's real, and says that the whole thing is very controversial because anxiety and depression are "inextricably intertwined". But he was adamant that for me, the first and most crucial thing to do was to address the anxiety issues.
My GP says there's no such thing as an anxiety disorder, all anxiety is caused by depression, and that modern antidepressants are free of side effects and will fix everything (except that they don't, at least in my case).
