Dear user,
If you have depression clinically, then the decision to start medicine will depend on multiple things like severity of depression, other medical conditions, family history of psychiatric conditions etc and is best taken by a psychiatrist after complete evaluation of yours.
Also i believe that schizoid etc are the name of scales of the psychometric test you underwent which had high score, and sleeplessness could be a symptom of stress, anxiety or depression. It is recommended to consult a psychiatrist and not start any medication on your own.
