Some studies show that THC has an inverted 'U' shape type effect on serotonin release. Lower doses increase it, whereas higher doses decrease it. I don't do well on higher doses of THC alone. However, my tolerance of THC improves dramatically with added CBD.
You can't really use THC in the same way you would an antidepressant. I can't use it during the day (obviously, for a variety of reasons).
I also have a strain that is high in CBN (not THC or CBD). CBN is also good for anxiety / sleep. If you leave the plant longer the THC will covert to CBN.
It's not an exact science, but I would say that cannabis has virtually eliminated all of the physical symptoms of my depression (insomnia, pain etc).
