Accutane is only for severe cases of acne. A lot of the depression that is reported is because, well, if you have acne that is bad enough for Accutane, you might be depressed as well, especially with teenage hormones.
Milder treatments include antibiotics. I currently use Minocyclin (50mg/day) and it works really well. I had acne on my back and face and now if is noticeably better.
I am not sure why sun helps, either. When I went on vacation to a lakehouse to waterski with my friends, showering didn't happen too much and we were in lake water all day. My acne was actually better that week when I returned then before I went.
Final note - I would ask about the Minocyclin first, and if that doesn't work, try Accutane.
