<personal opinion disclaimer> Antidepressants are poison. The ones I was on screwed me up good. They didn't make me feel good, they just made me feel numb, and I got nothing productive done while I was on them, eventually flunking out of college because I didn't want to do anything but sleep. I still struggle with suicidal depression on and off, but I'd rather feel naturally awful than be a lump on the couch.
As I've done deep spiritual work involving each of my chakras over a period of several years I've gradually felt better and better, my depressive episodes less and less crippling. However, if there is a complete and instantaneous fix for that particular set of emotions, I don't know what it is. Sometimes you just have to let yourself feel what you're going to feel and accept that this is the Creator, too, and that love can be found somewhere in the moment. We are, after all, called the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow.
Also, knowing why you are depressed can be very helpful. It took me ages to figure it out, and involved factors stemming back into my early childhood. I do believe it is possible for the brain to malfunction in the production of dopamine and serotonin, resulting in a drop in mood with seemingly no stimulus, but I have long stopped believing that anyone is a victim to the "condition of depression", helpless to do anything but take the pills big pharma cranks out. Every physical condition has a root in the metaphysical, and I would find this true with depression especially. Coming to deeply know yourself on all levels is the solution to many 3D problems.
