Catholics are encouraged to lead healthy, fulfilling, lives filled with grace. If you suffer from depression and your doctor prescribes anti-depressants then you should take them as they will help you lead a healthy life.
While some medical procedures and drugs are prohibited for Catholics (e.g. abortion or contraception), anti-depressants are allowed.

How do we become living witnesses for your catholic faith?
By simply living and proclaiming what you witness. Don't worry about being Catholic or even your faith for that matter -- it often hinders people from seeing the world for what it really is. Just take a look around, tell people what you see occurring, and how that makes you feel. And most important, if you want to change something -- do it. Do not pray or expect others to do things for you...take action!
Is it a must for a Christian to admit their sins to the priest to repent?
for anyone catholic, yes it is. It's actually one of the sacraments in the Catholic faith. For anyone who isn't either Catholic or a member of some Orthodox church, it isn't. Most protestant beliefs feel that when you pray to God for forgiveness, your sins are forgiven. It depends of what church you're a member of.
Do anti depressants cause weight gain?
They often do. However some people when depressed don't feel like eating and lose weight, as their mood improves while taking antidepressants their appetite returns they eat more and gain weight. Did the antidepressants make them gain weight, or did the antidepressants just allow them to eat normally and regain their normal weight (which some people dislike).
