Therapy or counseling is more effective than drugs IMO. The drugs do not treat the underlying emotional problems of depression.

If you have major depression - it is a chemical imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. Medication can regulate and make progress on track. Many people do not have the right amount of serotonin and it makes them feel depressed. Antidepressants can help you. They take the time to work, such as 4-6 weeks to establish the appropriate level in your bloodstream.

So one way to fight against depression is to see a psychiatrist and find the best route to take to get a handle on this.
There are medications that help to sleep too, because it is very important to the function.
Do not isolate, and get out and be around other people is a way to fight against depression.
Exercise releases endorphins in the body that help to elevate your mood too.

Help others - which makes you out to focus on yourself - and others.
