How easy is it to get medication for depression?

I am depressed. I would not say severly but more than moderately. About 6 months ago all of my friends said they couldnt handle my depression, sulking, and mood swings. they said get help. so i did, i went to see a pyschologist for 2 months but it did not help anything. It was like talking about the same old **** over and over. I really want medication so it can help me but i do not want to have to go through evaluation after evaluation and pyschologist to pychologist just to get some. Could I just talk to my doctor and get them prescribed? thanks
