I have suffered from depression. The best thing (and the hardest) for me is to talk to people about it. This is where a psychiatrist helps, as they have been trained, but also a close family member or close friend is a good starting point. I find the more people I am able to comfortably talk to about it, the better I am able to deal with it.
With you being indoors so much, you might want to take vitamin D. Another thing to watch is your diet. Eating sweets or salty snacks triggers a good feeling and when it wears off everyone "crashes". If you are suffering from depression, the crash is quicker and deeper.
Feel free to send me a pm if you want. Good luck with it, I know what it can be like.
