I think it's especially frustrating when "professionals", like the counselors and psychiatrists, can't help us (who have depression).
I think it may take someone who has been through depression, to ever be able to find a solution or cure, or maybe we should be the ones helping each other, since only we really understand what it's like to not be able to get up in the morning, or get through the day? Just thoughts.
I am sorry for your frustrations. I quit my job last fall, so I understand what it's like to not be able to work and how it really affects our confidence and self-esteem.
