I can relate, though in my case it was the opposite. Meaning that yes I did want to quit school, but it was the difficulty of school that caused the depression, not the depression which caused the difficulty of school.
Treatments just made the work harder, and subseqently made me more depressed.
It was stupidity that kept me going. Depression for me, was a normal sign that the work was too hard, and that I didn't have the skills. But nowadays, thats not the case. I was told I was depressed because I was "chemically imballanced", and sure that sounded great and I embraced that possibility, but it didn't have me facing the truth, which was I was in over my head.
Not trying to sound negative, but just thought I'd share my own angle.
