Suggest Treatments For Depression

I have a real problem here. We are having our first child in january and I am extremely depressed about it. I feel so guilty it makes me more depressed. I try to put on the good act for my wife but I can't get past the feelings that I dont want any part of this anymore. We are struggling financially. My wife was laid off two years ago and couldnt find work so we have gone from two incomes to just mine. My job is stressful and I have completely lost interest in it. My wifes sister is a drug addict and we were forced to take in her 12 yr old son. I feel like I can't take on any more resonsibility then I already have. I sleep poorly. I'm sad more than I'm not. Every little thing 'sets me off'. Am I just 'screwed' for lack of a better term?
