Suggest Treatment For Stress And Depression

Hi Doctor,
I'm 22 year old and I have been having minor depression for the past 6 months.
About 4 months ago I passed out at work due to the pain in period, my doctor suggested me taking birth control pills. I'm getting worse with my depression and I'm worrying the birth control pills not helping with my depression although they helped my period problem. I'm feeling hopeless, please help!
