Talking about books for depression. I started with the 20th century in Europe (Hitler, Holocaust, WWII, Fascism, Nazism, WWI, Russian Revolution, Stalin, Lenin etc etc) I read hundreds of books over 30 years that many people would find really depressing, but I didn't, because they made my problems seem insignificant. And I had a grim sense of satisfaction about finding out what life can be about. So they were good for sublimating my depression. But I didn't have acute money worries.
I did enjoy The Noonday Demon by Andrew Solomon.
