You can get prescribed antidepressants from most primary care physicians in the US if you don't want to look for a therapist. However, it's worth Googling around your area to find psychiatrists or therapy offices.
Don't be afraid of not being depressed enough. I made the mistake of doing that and got to a really bad place before I finally sought help. It's also worth noting that, by the time you actually get in to see a doctor, get prescribed something, and then wait the required time period for the medicine to actually start working, you'll be about 2-3 months out from feeling better.
When seeking depression treatment, another thing that was kind of obvious in hindsight (but not so much at the time) is that no one is going to magically come and save you from depression, not even your loved ones. You have to take the initiative to seek help yourself. For months I stalled because I didn't want to go through the process of finding a doctor, and it really ended up biting me in the ass.
Good luck!
