Depression: There are a lot of antidepressants that are not addictive. I would recommend seeing a doctor about the depression. Although not addictive, there are some that you should not just stop taking, all at once.

Not addictive.: I don't know of any addictive antidepressant medications. There are non-medication treatment modalities as well as meds. Although one may need to taper off of antidepressants - they are not addictive.

Depression ?: It is very important to treat and medications for depression r not addictive. Sometimes u need medications and speech therapy which can be the best approach , if u r concerned about medication u can try therapy first and if it does not work u can add medication. In addition , exercise and acupuncture may work also.
