Hi Phillipa,
Lymes can definitely lead to anxiety, depression and even symptoms of bipolar:

So, this definitely is a possible explanation for what you've been going through. It looks, from the abstract, that antibiotic treatment alone could resolve the psychiatric symptoms associated with Lymes.
Good luck,
