Getting Signed off for Notice

To be honest, I find some of the advice on this thread pretty upsetting in terms of "it's not that long, just stick it out". For somebody struggling with severe depression it really doesn't work like that, it isn't just a matter of willpower. Even the ideas of doing enjoyable things outside of work; it may well be that right now the OP hasn't got any motivation to or desire to manage these things.

OP, assuming you want to work for a company that shows some care to employees and doesn't stigmatise mental illness, I think if you are prepared to be upfront with potential new employers and stress it was primarily workplace related circumstances, most employers worth working for would be open to discussing it with you and understand that it doesn't show a lack of commitment, weakness etc.

I really hope you feel better soon.
