You are under a lot of stress right now and it is taking its toll. Yes, you are very close to the end of completeing your degree. Is it possible that maybe you are uncertain about the future and/or that you have unresolved feelings about your college experience? Maybe you are feeling disappointed that you didn't get more involved and make more friends, or maybe you are reluctant for it to end but part of you doesn't want to admit that? Losing your grandmother isn't easy either.
No matter what the issues are, you don't have to just sit and take it. If you are struggling with depression, you can get treatment. Why should psych majors be exempt from it? I'm a psych major too (also my last semester), and have struggled with depression for my whole life. My sister is a psychiatrist, and she was treated for depression during her last year of medical school, and continued on antidepressants for a couple of years. It affected a lot of the best known theorists in psychology too, in fact, in some cases their theories are based on their own experience.
Don't let it stop you. Do you have a student counseling center or student health center available? Go talk to someone. What are your plans after you graduate? There are so many things you can do in this field, but with a bachelor's degree it takes some creativity, doesn't it? Are you going to graduate school? I want to, but didn't get in this year.
