Catholics are encouraged to lead healthy, fulfilling, lives filled with grace. If you suffer from depression and your doctor prescribes anti-depressants then you should take them as they will help you lead a healthy life.
While some medical procedures and drugs are prohibited for Catholics (e.g. abortion or contraception), anti-depressants are allowed.

How do we become living witnesses for your catholic faith?
By simply living and proclaiming what you witness. Don't worry about being Catholic or even your faith for that matter -- it often hinders people from seeing the world for what it really is. Just take a look around, tell people what you see occurring, and how that makes you feel. And most important, if you want to change something -- do it. Do not pray or expect others to do things for you...take action!
Is it a must for a Christian to admit their sins to the priest to repent?
for anyone catholic, yes it is. It's actually one of the sacraments in the Catholic faith. For anyone who isn't either Catholic or a member of some Orthodox church, it isn't. Most protestant beliefs feel that when you pray to God for forgiveness, your sins are forgiven. It depends of what church you're a member of.

What happens if you just stop using antidepressants?
You need to gradually reduce the dose--otherwise you may make things worse and your feelings will go amok. Check in with your doctor before doing so. It is very tempting when you feel well to stop taking medications, but it is short-sighted. Answer Suddenly stopping antidepressants without gradually withdrawing it causes untoward effects. Stopping antidepressants takes you back into depression. Some people in that state have attempted suicide. Many are fed up of antidepressants if they haven't experienced complete relief and desire to stop antidepressants. In this cases 1)It is sensible to inform your doctor 2)with the permission of doctor you may start gradually withdrawing one medicine, stop it. Then another medicine dose be tapered then stopped. At any point if the symptoms of depression return you know that medicine has been useful to you and you continue taking it in the correct dose.

Plus there is mild withdrawal associated with antidepressants that will make you feel worse, reinforcing that fear and making you want to take it again.
Why does the Catholic Church discriminate against people who are non-Catholic?
The Catholic Church does not discriminate against non-Catholics. However, there is still much intolerance of Catholics by non-Catholics throughout the world as evidenced by this question. I have been a Catholic all my 67 years and have never heard a single word from a member of the Catholic clergy against non-Catholics. Catholics are secure in their faith and feel no need to criticize others who are not secure in their own beliefs. However, today, alone, I have read at least 20 new questions in this category that all have an anti-Catholic tone.
