I have been doing some searching for you. I found a document online that states as follows:
The current personal importation policy permits the exercise of enforcement discretion to allow entry of an unapproved prescription drug only if the intended use is for a serious condition for which effective treatment may not be available domestically; the product is considered not to represent an unreasonable risk; the product is for personal use; there is no known commercialization or promotion to U.S. residents by those involved in the distribution of the product; and the individual seeking to import the product affirms in writing that it is for the patient's own use and provides the name and address of the U.S. licensed doctor responsible for his or her treatment with the product or provides evidence that the product is for the continuation of a treatment begun in a foreign country.
So I don't know if depression would be considered a serious depression (when we all know that it is). So it sounds like you are responsible for getting the med and then providing proof that you have a doctor following your treatment with this med. The only thing that is unclear is who do you write this information to?
Here is a link to the full document:

Take care.
