If I get therapy and am diagnosed with depression, is that put on a health record or anything? Would this make it harder to buy a gun. Pic unrelated.

probably, which is why you should never talk to psych doctors, especially if you want to be a gun owner
what kind of guns are you looking to purchase?

In the US? Absolutely not. The only mental health disqualifiers are noted in question 11f on your 4473:
Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes a determination by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that you are a danger to yourself or to others or are incompetent to manage your own affairs) OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution? (See Instructions for Question 11.f.)
Boom.

Fun fact: in Illinois I am civilly, criminally, and professionally immune from any claims arising from me NOT making a report. Gotta love the NRA being subtle.

No unless you try to harm yourself.
Their will be variations based on where you are. But so long as you don't say something stupid like, 'can I buy just one bullet', or how angry you are and how fucked up things are...
