At initial period due to harassment there was some sort of depression.
But the medication given to you was wrong if it was only depression.
Now what is depression, you need to understand. Persistent low mood, thinking about negative points, or overthinking, slowness of activities, disturbed sleep, irritable behavior, disturbed appetite, bodyache +/-, loss of interest in activities.
Next Steps
Reconsult to another psychiatrist.
Don't consult general doctor.
