Yes. It is a cause for concern.

Long term antidepressants causes this type of picture sometimes. Detailed CBC needed. Should go for iron studies and vit B12 levels

This is commonly seen in patients taking antidepressants for long duration, please check your vitamin b12 levels, if your rest of the CBC report is normal, then it's not of any concern, if possible change the dose or type of antidepressants.
