Dear ifonlyyouknewme,

Having lots of allergies and inflammation is a hot topic in medicine these days and there are lots of people studying the link between inflammation and depression and other mental problems. It's possible that if you found a way to get rid of your inflammation, you depression and anxiety would also improved. This is relatively new stuff, so it might not be in the practice of your MD yet (it's sometimes called "Functional Medicine"). Here's one popular article about it:

How to Stop Attacking Yourself: 9 Steps to Heal Autoimmune Disease - Dr. Mark Hyman

There is much more out there.
