Under the Fair Housing Act, people with disabilities (major depressive disorder counts as a disability), are entitled to keep their emotional support animals regardless of whether or not the landlord allows pets. It's called a reasonable accomodation. You can't be charged a pet deposit for an emotional support animal either. As long as a health care professional (therapist, doctor, etc.) provides a letter stating that the animal is your emotional support animal, then you are good to go.
