I went through your details. Depressive disorder is a neuro chemical disorder. The drug treatment should continue without fault. Then there many other aspects needs to be taken care of. Imminent of them is motivation aspect. Because of the low mood condition, depressive disorder patients need to be motivated frequently and consistently. Second important aspect is physical exercise and engaging games. Second aspect is possible only when the patient is kept positively motivated always. If these two aspects are taken care of well, 50% of the depressive disorder can be managed. Medicines will take care of some 25%. Change in life style will also help, along with change in place of living and change in work conditions. All these steps together could be called psychotherapy. There are specific therapies helpful for depressive disorder. I suggest you should consult a clinical psychologist.
