My dear Dr CattleProd was talking about this recently, said that he'd been to a conference where they were saying that everyone with both depression and anxiety was really bipolar II. Or Bipolar III. Or Bipolar IV.
Lucia Francisca is correct -- BP II is bipolar with hypomanias rather than full blown mania. The new thing with anxiety/depression is not the DSM criteria.
As for how to treat it, I can't help you there. I know dang little, when you come right down to it. But I hope the little I could offer is helpful to you.
