God can work through medicine, including anti-depressants.
However, there's a gotcha, and nothing to do with God or the Orthodox Church. Psychiatrists and therapists offer treasure in a minefield: they can be helpful, and God's salvation can come through them, but there's nasty stuff you won't be warned about: therapists who do more harm than good, or powerful medications that do just what you don't need.
So let me clearly NOT say, \"If you had enough faith, you wouldn't need anti-depressants,\" but your initial note sounds like you've hit one of the bad spots in the minefield. Maybe you need another medication; maybe you need another doctor. And do try to pray; Orthodoxy is itself lifegiving to people with the struggles you describe, even if the \"total package\" solution is not Church alone, but includes medical care.
With love and prayer,
