It is hard to give on advice on what we perceive as medical matters but I will speak as what is in my Spirit. If you are on drugs to control your depression and they are not helping maybe you are not chemically depressed.
Maybe you are caught up in Spiritual warfare. [Luke 22:31] "Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that (all of)you be given up to him (out of the power and keeping of God), that he might sift (all of) you like grain." satan goes to our Father and ask permission to attack us, He grants him permission sometimes so that you grow in Him and become stonger in your walk.
[Ephesians 6:12] "For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms." We are in a battle with darkness and that battle will go on until the Glorious Second Comming of Our Lord. We must continue to stand and fight for we know that we will win and you know you will win this for it is not your fight but our God's fight. Put on the whole armor of God everyday. I try to do this and i know this works. Her is the prayer I use: Therefore I take up the whole armor of God, that I may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. I Stand therefore, I gird my waist with truth, I put on the breastplate of righteousness, and I shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, I take the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And I take the helmet of salvation, and I take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; I pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints-- and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.
If you are not clinically depressed but you you are waring against the deceiver you will need to pull down some strongholds in your life that satan is using to keep you bound and suffering. There are several good books on pulling down strongholds. One is Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer. If you want a Scriptual study on satanic attack e-mail me. My profile is public.
A wise mentor of mine told me that satan only attacks those who are saved he has the rest. He knows he will never have us but he wants to make our life a living hell. Well we shouldn't let him and we need to stand strong with our Heavenly Father!
Father in Heaven I come before you for this saint, this child of yours and ask you to reveal the stonghold(s) in this persons life so that they can break the bondages that are causing this depression. I want to thank you Father for revealing this and breaking these bondages in their life! In Jesus name I pray - Amen
