If your work is infringing on your basic human needs, then it is likely that work is going to cause you anxiety and possibly lead to depression. For example, the hours are so long you are generally tired and run down, there is little security
about your job, the workplace is highly competitive etc etc.
In my experience the most common factor in work related depression is the feeling of helplessness about your situation, in that you feel "trapped" due to financial constraints or simply that you can't see any way to turn the situation around. The unpleasantness could be due to unsupportive managers/colleagues, work that does not interest or stretch you, frustration, or a whole host of other reasons.
Regardless of why work is/has become a problem, it's critical that you take action to turn this situation around, and maintain your mental health. Although employers have a duty of care to their employees, not all take this seriously on a real day to day basis, and your situation is best improved when you take control of resolving it yourself, (albeit with the support or guidance of others).

Maybe it is because the job you are in.? Do you enjoy it.? If you don't then have a think about what you really want to do and make a plan to get it. If you do normally like your job then go to the doctor and find out about getting help for the depression etc.
