this is a myth propagated by the so-called teachers or masters of commercial yoga. rather than sitting in uncomfortable postures waiting for the mood to life, one can easily take medicines and come out of the problem. infact, going regularly to a gym would help as much as (if at all) yoga does.
moreover yoga is too generalised a term. if you care to go into it, bakthi yoga can behelpful.

Well yes yoga does help you but just to a particular extent. It rejuvenates your body, improves metabolism, and calms you down. But the problem with depression is that it is not just about your body it is mental as well. With meditation you can relax your body and mind but the best of coming out of depression is a proper healing of your mind. It is very difficult but you need to find out what exactly is haunting you and the reson for your depression and here you need to have a complete acceptance of the situation which got you into depression.
It is not an easy process but i guess with grace and effort and intent you can get over it!
