How To Get Rid Of Depression?

I've been majorly depressed on and off since I was about 13. It's getting in the way of my jobs, relationships and general day to day activites. The depression can last from a few hours to several months and as I'm getting older, it's getting more and more severe. I also have times when I'm very over-excited, speaking before thinking, and generally act embarrissingly or irritatingly. I asked him to help me, and he gave me some anti-depressants. I think it may be a little more serious than that. What do you think?
