RE: -What the Bible say about Depression-
Not at all, it will just be so much more easier to cope with it when God is by your side. Therapy is good, but God is better!

mmm disturbing. We are too different probably...
Turning to God can mean many things. God might direct you toward therapy. Sometimes turning to God means turning to your Pastor which is similar to therapy and maybe even your Pastor will direct you to therapy. The end result is the same. How you get there is different.
The biggest difference here is that @brotherbear is saying to seek God first.
Most people will not seek therapy right away. He/she will need a friend or relative to convince them. Even then, it could take some time. Christians have a faith in God that allows them to trust in Him when they know things are not right. A Christian is more likely to seek counseling/therapy before any other person would because their faith and trust in God.
What is disturbing is that most suicides could have been prevented through therapy and that therapy is something people need to be convinced to do.
This also made me realize something about depression. We all know that depression will make us retreat inward, but God does not want that for us. He wants us to look outward to Him. Therefore, we can assume that God's will for us is not to face this illness alone.
