I agree with what the peeps before me have said. 
If you haven't gotten a physical in a while, I would schedule one with your PCP and have them run some general blood work, to include a thyroid panel. Sometimes depression, even longer term depression can be brought on/made worse by low blood counts or low thyroid levels.
At the same time, you could set up an appt with a psychologist. Most psychiatrists these days don't do as much counseling/psychotherapy and mainly are available for eval and prescription of meds in addition to your primary therapy.
I would also like to say that you can also find some good social workers who specialize in psychotherapy as well, and there are now psychiatric nurse practioners who handle case management and med eval/prescriptions as well.
Good luck with your treatment.
