NO: I think you need to contact a therapist prior to making such a decision - this question gives little information as to why you feel as you do and any impulsive decision may be detrimental to both you and your family.

No: Rather than leaving, which might be experienced by them as an abandonment or otherwise not responsible, why not seek treatment, which might be experienced by them as caring and loving? Of course, you should be doing so for your sake, not theirs, as a bottom line. Most depression is highly treatable.

Therapy?: Don't leave just yet. Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
