Depression can be very serious. There are different types of depression some of which needs to be treated by a doctor.
As someone who has the type of depression that needs medication and constant treatment by a doctor and psychologist I can tell you that I've learned it is okay to have off days or days where we feel depressed. If these days of feeling depressed continue unabated then you should be screened for depression.
Ones environment does enter into our emotional well being. You say your depression starts at home. This is called a trigger. You don't say what at home is causing you to be depressed or how old you are.
Should you be a teenager still living at home and you are being either physically or mentally abused this would cause you to be depressed. If you are a young teenager just starting puberty the hormonal changes in your body could be effecting your emotional well being. If there has been a recent death of a close relative this too would effect your emotional well being. These are just a few of the things that come to mind that could come from the home to cause you to be depressed. One other is social acclamation at school such as bullying not supported at home but this is a stretch to label a home cause.
If you feel you are being abuse you need to tell someone. A trusted adult such as a teacher, principal, guidance counselor, or other trusted adult. For the others you need to start with your family doctor. Have the doctor give you a complete physical; if the problem is the hormonal changes you are going through there are medications that can help you. Also ask the doctor to screen you for depression. The doctor will ask why, when your asked tell the doctor why you feel depressed; be open and frank with the doctor. Remember everything you tell the doctor stays between you and the doctor.
Without any other information this is the best advice I can give you. You have already taken the first step which is to ask for help. I'm old enough to be your grandfather and I've given you the best advice I have. The rest is up to you.
