Dear Sunny, Tobacco chewing alone may not cause depression and anxiety. But if you are dependent on chewing tobacco, the craving for it, will cause anxiety and depression. The withdrawal also may cause depression and anxiety. Now that you are on anti depression pills, this is the best time to motivate yourself to give up chewing tobacco. All the best.
