Hello Meaduk 
to Psoriasis Club.
Yes it sounds like they are following the usual protocol before giving you the Bio treatments, though to be fair they usually are the last thing you can try and there isn't anything afterwards (Yet) plus the cost involved are higher for bio's so if they can get you managed cheaper they will.
Depression is also common amongst people with psoriasis and coping with it is difficult, unfortunately it is often overlooked by dermatologists and so goes untreated. But now you've found Psoriasis Club you will always have someone here that is willing to listen and offer support, so never feel alone just shout out and you will soon find others ready to help.
I can recommend the Off Topic board for helping members cope with the low days, there is always something in there to cheer you up or it's a great place to go and have a good old grumble with others who understand away from the public eye. If you do venture in the Off Topic board you will find I'm the sensible one.
By the way you haven't bored anyone, we all have the choice on reading your post or not. I'm pleased you took the courage to join us here and post as I have always said "If Psoriasis Club is helping one person I will keep it going" so seeing it being used as it was intended makes me feel good.
Like Jim said Psoriasis Club has been in it's current form since mid 2011, though we did first start in May 2010. And it's the members both past and present that make it what it is, so thank you for sharing and please do keep us updated.
Regards.
Fred.
