It's probably better you didn't watch it: the main character does struggle with depression. (It's not named as such, but it's clearly there, and yep, the clinical thing.) They even resisted the temptation to cut that from the TV show. I mean, I don't mind - it actually makes Geralt a pretty interesting main character, especially for genre standards - but, eh, his main problem is himself, and that might be triggering.
(They didn't just Americanize the thing, they removed some other things from the stories as well - like the... episodic (?), intentionally-disjointed and quite unique storytelling style that actually influenced me a lot - but I'll admit it would have been impossible to translate that to the screen.)
