May be unrelated: Shaking hands isn't a typical symptom of depression. It can be caused by anxiety, or possibly a side effect of certain medications. This can also be caused by aging to a certain extent, although yours sounds pretty severe. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out Parkinson's or other neurological problem.
