Caffiene may cause anxiety, but it does not necessarily lead to depression.
Caffiene shares some properties of an antidepressant in animal models. As well, regular coffee drinkers have statistically lower rates of suicide.
It was mentioned how coffee, but not caffiene, has MAO inhibiting properites.

Moderate consumption of coffee may not be good for anxiety prone, but I have not found it bad to use when depressed.Linkadge
