Effects of depression on lactation is not significant. But if you are on aripazole (psychotropic drug) then lactation can be affected .adviced to check prolactin levels once before going to a gynecologist

Completely agree with Dr. Mayuri.
Treating depression may not increase the milk production. That may need to be looked into by another specialist.
Consult a Psychiatrist and a Gynaecologist.
Take care
