You need to see a doctor and have them document that working is not good for you. If it is the job making you depress find a new one.

If you are suffering from depression, try contacting a Mental Health Professional. He may prescribe some medication to get you over this. Don't give up your job, as yet. If the job is the source of depression, seek another job, and then move on.

I'm confused. Are you mentally ill or physically ill or both? Ask again. You can quit your job as it is America! Just keep in mind that jobs aren't always easy to come by especially if it's a decent one. Can you get disability? If they've let you keep your job after being ill so long, they're being preety cool. You may get over your depression after going back to work. Sitting around, ill or not, is horribly depressing. Like I said, ask again and tell us exactly what is wrong with you and why you are depressed so we can give you advice!!!

It's your call. I know from experience that work can make your depression a hell of a lot worse, especially if you're having a hard time there. If you think that's what you need to do right now, then do it. Your health comes first.

I would try to go out on disability if you can. don't milk the system but if you honestly can't work there isn't much you can do. i have an ex who suffers from depression real bad, she hasn't been able to work in years...

If you are suffering from moderate to severe stress and the job makes it worse, dont do anything without talking to your gp.

You can but if you are in the UK you may struggle to claim benefits if you give up your job.
Do yourself a favour and find another job!
Best of luck

Yes. of course you can. No-one needs a reason to give up work - just leave.
