I would like depression meds but parents won't let me?

Why do you need: your parents' permission at 45 years old? There is obviously more to your situation than you have indicated. I assume you have a primary doctor, or you should have. Ask your doctor about how to treat your depression. You might benefit from a referral to a mental health professional. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is one of the most effective treatments for depression.
