I am depressed, should i go try to continue school or take time off?

That is a very: Individual decision. Who diagnosed major depression? Are you working with a psychiatrist or a psychologist? The majority of people with depression are still able to function however, if your depression renders you to be so impaired that you can't study that is another matter. I would discuss this wyour medical provider - that person knows you better than a physician on the internet. Take care.
