The simple answer is to adjust your ratios and take in more carbs.

I'm willing to bet it's something else besides the low carbs that's making you depressed and anxious; you should examine that I think before you worry about what your diet is doing.

Just how low is your carb intake? You could also try carb cycling, which is basically going low for a few days, then high for one, then low for a few days.
