When depressed: It is not advisable for you to 'self treat' depression. Invest in the counseling and possible medications provided by specialists who can help you through this darkness.

None OTC: There are no antidepressants "over the counter." you really need psychiatric evaluation here. Drinking alcohol will only worsen your mood, and you won't be able to think rationally either. Please see your physician today for help.
