Speaking as someone who's dealt with some issues of depression myself... Well, I'd say that the game made me actually realize I was depressed when I hadn't really confronted that fact before playing it, but I didn't really feel that John's depression was actually carrying over to worsen mine, if that makes sense? I played an early version and actually had some frustrating experiences with being unable to get a good end (which has since been improved for the route I was on), but it never really felt like that was a result of the depression themes. Overall, I enjoyed the story a lot, and if anything, the depiction of depression made John easier to empathize with. So while I can't speak for sure for how you'll react to it, I would personally still recommend the game. I found it quite enjoyable overall.
