Can anxiety cause depression and vice versa?

I have anxiety problems, but I get depressed sometimes on and off. Just wondered if the two are linked? I made my doctor make me a referral to a psychiatrist, but I don’t know if it’s going to do anything for me or I believe it won’t. The doctor made a referral for my OCD, but will they also help me out with other anxiety/depression and life issues?
The other problem is my mother does not believe in psychologists or psychiatrists, and that I should be able to deal with things on my own…but I just don’t feel like that’s the case.

I had anxiety and depression for over 15 years. I had everything medical done for me. Psychiatrist, meds, eatting right, super vitamins, exercise, support groups, you name it. Nothing gave me real peace.
then, 3 1/2 years ago, a freind invited me to a bible study group. I thought I knew the bible pretty well. Turns out I knew facts, but did not understand grace. I thought things like “God helps those who help themselves’ was in the Bible. It was not, that was Bengermin Franklin. In an amazing moment, I recieved the unconditional love and acceptance of Jesus. I stopped trying to be in control and I trusted this amazing loving God who keeps me in perfect peace. I put the word of God in my heart instead of worry and repeated it when I was tempted to worry. I was overwhelmed with such a sence of well being and peace and I will never go back. I got off 17 medications, my depression lifted instantly, and my anxiety greatly decreased. Also, in three months, my income trippled and I fell in love with a wonderful man whom I later married. Gods real love- not what I hear on t.v. preachers or church, but the real presence of God entered into my soul. I am on a journey of greater peace as I trust in Him. Yes, I still have feelings of fear at times, but Gods Word brings me back to a safe place. Depression is caused by anxiety. Once I learned that I can trust in Gods goodness and faithfulness, Everyhthing came together.
I am holding on to free speach and the sure knowledge of one who was in your shoes and got healed. If you are tired of christains who want you to experience Gods love, remember it feels like I thought I would feel if I ever won 100 million dollars, and I am trying to give it all away! I got further teachings and counseling on how to live a peacefull life from mentors at a church I later found. For free.
Try going to Alpha. Good place to start.

I hope you get feeling better and with HOPE!!!
