Well, the classification as antidepressant or something else is pretty arbitrary. For example, some primarily antihistaminic drugs have been classified as antidepressants.
> Amphetamines and cocaine had been used in the past. Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), the first antipsychotic, was first introduced in 1952 in France. The first antidepressant approved for depression was iproniazid, a MAOI, in 1958. Imipramine, the first tricyclic, was introduced in 1959. MAOIs and TCAs. That was it. SSRIs didn't emerge in the United States until the approval of fluoxetine in 1987.
