I found Johann Hari's book on the subject, "Lost Connections," interesting. It takes a slightly anti-medication stance on tackling depression. On the other hand, a tiny dose of a well-tolerated SSRI medication helped me. That + therapy at the same time. IMO, the medication is useful to reduce the acuity of the depression/anxiety just enough so that you can start to make productive (and depression-reducing) changes to your life (such as establish an exercise routine etc).
