Recently I'm just having a depressive episode, and it's honestly cutting into my personal life as well as my gaming life. Lately I've just been forcing myself to play TF2 because I have a team to play on and a team that I help manage as well, but now I'm just starting to slack off because of my loss of motivation to do much of anything. Should I just take a break from doing anything team related for a bit, atleast until after this depressive episode?

If you've made a firm commitment I'd stick to it, but you can try to modify that in a number of ways.
1. Remain, until such a time as a suitable replacement for you has been found. That way you're free from regret, don't damage your relationships, or screw anybody over.
2. Attempt to modify the amount of time you spend doing things you don't want to do (fewer scrims etc - sometimes that's all that's needed).
3. Tough it out entirely, and then remember how much you hated it the next time you promise somebody something.

A couple of seasons ago I got really put down by losing games and burned out from tf2 pretty quickly. I strongly advise against putting up with it until it's over because it will have a terrible affect on your mood and might make you more depressive or toxic.
If it's severe enough to impacting your real life and causing you depressive episodes, tell your team leader that you can't keep playing because you're demotivated. I think that it would really help if you could spend some time on sub or inactive on your roster so that you can take a break from things and do more things that you are enjoying until you feel ready for tf2 again.
So overall, take some time off from tf2, go and do some other things that cheer you up or make you happy and talk to people if it becomes that big of a problem.
I hope that you get this fixed man, have a good one ^^
