Antidepressants aren’t a “make you happy” pill.

They are a pill that inhibits serotonin reuptake (in the case of SSRIs) and thereby can help treat biological illnesses such as Major Depressive Disorders (not to be confused with short-term reactive depression, which is psychological in nature and therefore doesn’t respond to antidepressants).

You are correct.

But there are a great variation in anti depressants as well as ssri.
