General advice from this random internet being: Job markets are rough: I would actually recommend going back to school. It doesn't need to be the same school, and it doesn't even have to be full time (depending on your anxiety handling skills with the depression) Like others have said, I think you'll find more opportunities. But this doesn't work as well if you don't actually want to go back to school. If this is the case, keep applying to different things. If you are mobile and can change cities, that might open up doors for you. In the meantime, any job you can get might help for now. I would likely not bring it up in an initial interview unless it seems more explanation is necessary. I'd merely state the gap was due to a medical issue that required some healing time.
