Hey T@ll
I've been researching strains for depression, anxiety, mania (and to a lessor extent pain and sleep) for the past few years, I've got some lists and research info that I'll post for you. It may take a while to get it all posted, some is on my computer at work. I can give you some tips and advice from my own experience and the other medical patient I supply.
Strawberry Cough is a phenomenal strain for anxiety, it melts tension away in minutes. I've only had Dutch Passions feminized version and I found it too weak, my med patient loved it. Dr Greenthumb has a S1 feminized seed from the original clone - the Doc is a great breeder and very trustworthy. It's expensive but if you have the money you'll get world class genetics. Diesels are good for depression and Elite Seeds used Rez's Strawbery Diesel (Strawberry Cough X Diesel) and crossed it with Sour OG Kush and made a potent strain that should be good for both anxiety and depression. I've got it vegging now.
Big Bang by Greenhouse seeds is suppose to be very good for anxiety.

T@ll take a look at these strains, see if there's any effect that you're looking for.
.
AK47 - Serious Seeds: Rocket Fuel. Up, soaring, not functional. One hit, incredibly potent. Stinks like cat piss and dead skunk. Or perhaps smells as if a cat pissed on a skunk and the smell was so bad the skunk died, then the cat dragged the skunk into a garbage bag and left it in the sun for a week. Get odor control if you're doing this strain.
Alaskan Ice - Greenhouse: one of the strongest cannabis plants ever bred .. a cross of original Green House White Widow and Pure Haze ... has all the well known characteristics of the White Widow, with a much higher THC content and a very sativa-like effect, energizing and very trippy. CBD level is also very high at over 1%, giving it a complete physical effect that follows the first burst of high. The taste is spicy and hazy, with a very well balanced bouquet in between the White Widow and the Haze flavors.
Arjan's Haze #3 - Greenhouse: Euphoric, cerebral high with trippy undertones.
Big Bang - Greenhouse:Effect: Very known for its medicinal properties, it is sold in the Dutch pharmacies as prescription medicine.
Relaxing and calming effect.
Big Laughing - Dr Greenthumb: instant mood changer, you will not be able to stop laughing, up silly high, very potent. Easy to grow, forgiving. Amazing spicy wood taste, you never want to exhale. My favorite strain.
Blueberry - PeakSeedsBC: Pure Blueberry of our own creation using genetics from Sagarmatha, Dutch Passion and DJ Shorts. The results clearly speak for themselves. Unique flavor, fantastic potentcy, very popular. 60/40* indica/sativa.
Blue Moonshine - (DJ Short) Dutch Passion: a potent blueberry strain that produces a powerful narcotic high.
Bubblegum - Serious Seeds: uplifting, euphoric, clear, social.
Cheese - Big Bhudda: appealing fruity fresh smell, uplifting effect, highly pungent hence its name! No ceiling high, little tolerance build up.
Cheese S1 Feminized seeds from original clone - Dr Greenthumb: Uplifting high that lasts four hour, unusual cheesy smell with deeply pungent earthy taste.
Durban Poison - Dutch Passion: The plant produces a Thai-like aniseed smell similar to licorice. A husky, earthy taste pleasant to the smoker. Durban Poison is well known for it's "up - feel good" high that produces an energetic, trip effect. A good beginner strain, inside or out, does well under artificial light, 8-9 week flower, 100% Sativa.
F13 - DJ Short: F-13 a Holy Grail plant of four-star excellence. Previously unreleased, a very desirable product and potential breeder. A more sativa hybrid of medium height with long, spear-shaped, dense and resinous buds and an earlier finish-time than most sativa. The superlative quality of the finished product is remarkable: A clear, clean, crisp head of the kindest order. This girl really rings the bell every time! Not for the couch-lock crowd, this heady sativa is for those who truly enjoy its stimulating yet comfortable appeal. A real day-brightener. DJ's personal favorite from this batch. Grow Location: Indoor Flowering: 7 - 9 weeks Yield: Average
Flo - (DJ Short) Dutch Passion: Unique motivating high.
Jack Flash (Jack Herer) - Sensi: Exotic high, powerful on body and mind. Trippy. The best Jack Herer is often passed around a select circle of friends - an example of one of those things that money just cant buy. The trait common to all Jack Herer phenotypes is a dazzling double-edged potency - a stratospheric cerebral high underpinned by a breathtaking body-buzz with seismic power. Smokers should be prepared to feel the earth shake beneath their feet - which can be a very pleasant feeling when your head is firmly in the clouds. The cat's meow.
Kali Mist - Serious Seeds: up, clear, energized, no ceiling. Top sativa today, so says the advertising.
Medicine Man - Mr Nice (White Rhino - Greenhouse):
Northern Berry - PeakSeedsBC:
Northern Lights - PeakSeedsBC:
Power Plant - Dutch Passion: Pure Power Plant has a pleasant almost pine after taste and a powerful up social buzz. Large yield, 8-9 weeks flower, VERY odorous in late flowering. The smoke after 15 days of drying and 15 of curing is soft,smooth,sweet,fruity (mainly citrus and orange) with piney undertones. The effect is mainly in the head ,uplifting with a good potency without body effect; very good day smoking, almost inspiring.
Red Diesel - Barney's Farm: up and trippy.
Skunk #1 (Original) - Seedsman: Like the origional Cheese: a sweet smell and taste with a cerebral high.
Skunk - PeakSeedsBC:
Skunkberry - PeakSeedsBC:
Strawberry Cough - Dutch Passion: up, clear, mild, melts anxiety, good all day bud. UPDATE: horrible taste, no potency, but melts anxiety while leaving you clear headed. Hate the strain, I'll never run it again.
Super Silver Haze - Greenhouse: Potent. Potent. Potent. Creepy and powerful on the body. 4 phenos, the best sativa pheno: Smell is fairly strong floral & spicey with a hint of sweetness. Taste is very spicey with a great hazey slightly sweet aftertaste. The high is a stupifying mix of Sativa and Indica effects. The Sativa side is visual mentally confusing (hard to think straight/concentrate) while the Indica is just enough to relax the body (kill the pain) & take away most of the edgy racey paranoia feeling of the Haze.
Super Strawberry Diesel - Elite: Strawberry cough drop x Diesel taste, potent. From the original clone.
Texada Timewarp - (Peak has been out for a year-who?): up high, beautiful lemony fresh smelling buds. Great producing strain outdoors, very dependable. Can grow to 12' outdoors. TT is from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada - good for short growing seasons.
Trainwreck - Greenhouse: Effect: Like the name suggests, a real blast. It hits fast, and it hits hard. Stoney on the body, confusing and trippy on the brain. A truly powerful smoke.
White Widow - Seedsman: Unique, refreshing taste, strong skunky smell, mind-blowing, sugary appearance, one of the finest quality highs you could ever experience. A few tokes of White Widow and youll be sent into a floating utopia. A light and airy high bursting with energy, White Widow is a classic, psychedelic sativa strain not to be missed.

These are some strains that people from surveys have found helps with anxiety. These are far from all the strains that will help, just what people who responded to the survey found effective. You will no doubt find many other strains that work well and some of these might not work well for you:
Anxiety: Purple Kush, Trainwreck, Nevles Haze, Diesel, Blueberry, Bubblegum, Big Bang, Bog Sour Bubble, Haze (most strains), Firecracker, Jack Herer, Juicy Fruit, Lolipop, BOG LSD, Super Impact
Anxiety and Depression: Catalyst, Big Laughing, Blueberry, M39, Kali Mist, White Widow, Blue Moonshine, Blue Satellite
Anti Anxiety/Sleep: Blue Moonshine, Jack Herrer, M-39, Herijuana, Blueberry
Sleep & General Relaxation: Sonoma Coma, Lifesaver, Blueberry, Matanuska Thunder Fuck, XXX, Legends Ultimate Indica, Sensi Star
Social Anxiety: Romulan, NL#5, Hindu Kush, OG Kush, Bubba Kush, Big Laughing, Blueberry, Kali Mist
.
.
"Romulan: Pleasant slight mental high. *Great painkiller*/minor muscle relaxant. Aided sleep. My heart doesn't race at all on this stuff! Apparently, it has a lower THC content than many, and this may account for it's mellowness. Yeah! It also doesnt make me feel 'stoned' or stupid."
Medicine Man - Mr Nice (White Widow - Greenhouse): "I give this a 10 out of 10 for pain control and general anti-anxiety/mood elevation, however, I'd save it for the night- it's not the most motivating thing in the world, although it is possible to become productive if you push yourself enough."
"NY Sour Diesel is excellent for anxiety, as is Bubblegum. SD gives an almost tangible sense of relaxation in the head- it killed a developing migraine before it started."
Me: "Strawberry Cough is an excellent strain for melting existing anxiety or keeping you relaxed. I do not like Dutch Passion's version, too weak and tastes like chemicals, no strawberry taste or smell. Look for a feminized seed from the original clone."
.
Slane both indicas and sativas will work for anxiety. The common though is that a person with anxiety has to be sedated to relieve the anxiety but sometimes we want to go "up steam" as far as possible to treat the root cause and not just be constantly bailing symptoms out of a sinking boat. A good anti-anxiety sativa may effect a part of the brain that is causing your anxiety. And while sativas have a mix of canaboids that work on the mind, indicas may work better for you by times.
Same argument as MS, epilepsy and the horrid shaky leg syndrome.
Works well for water in your basement too. You can constantly pump it out or fix the hole in your roof. And sometimes you gotta pump anyway.
I've got some more stuff on my home computer if you're interested. Look at those strains, if you don't find any you like I'll dig up some more.
As well - buy several strains so you can pick the ones that work best. Single Feminized seeds are great.
