Just one thing to keep in mind, though--I think it might be BETTER if a dr has gone through the hell of depression or anxiety himself/herself, at least he/she can understand what it's like. If they have to live for months with debilitating depression, electric shock feelings from AD withdrawal, or insomnia from benzo withdrawal, they're better equipped--at least theoretically to empathize.
But if there's anything that pisses me off--is a person who doesn't know the answer to something--and they can't or won't admit their ignorance--so they pretend to be smart, and in the process, get YOU more screwed up.
