I have been diagnosed with depression by a psychiatrist. I never shared with him or a psychotherapist that I also experienced paranoia and delusions. Since I have never had hallucinations I don't know if I have had depression with psychotic features or that I have ever met the official qualifications for this disorder.
My heart goes out to anyone with depression especially if that depression is loaded with additional crushing burdens. And my heart goes out to you. Hopefully many people will see your post and respond to it with more helpful words than my poor words. Sorry I could not be helpful to you.
