Wow. That is a good way to put it. I have though the same thing but not in so few words.
I personally didn't find antidepressants all that good for generalized anxiety in a nondepressed state, (benzo's worked much better for that). When I am depressed though they did help anxiety (but a different form of anxiety), which like you said was probably created by the lack of ability to perform task which one is normally able to perform. I.e. even the simplest tasks can be daunting when depressed.
