Hi there,
Yes, is my answer to your question, it does happen, it had happened to me before I went under the care of a pdoc. and psychologist. Long story, but the outcome was I got DXed (2) and recieve the right meds for me. Previous to that I was considered clinically depressed by my GP and handed down a prescription for an anti-depressant (should of been evaluated by a mental health professional) some meds. didn't work, so we went from one to another.
Talking with a psychologist when some family crisis happened combined with my already depressive state, helped. But not till I saw a pdoc. and was put on proper meds. did I feel I cared about anything. I went through depression to the "blank stage", I felt emotionless and didn't care of if I lived. Didn't even feel like crying anymore.
I do not think it is unusual for untreated or mistreated depression to manifest into this stage.
Just my 2 cents.

Take care,
DE
