will antidepressant more likely help or make things more complicated?

My boyfriend has major depression, and while it does make his baseline mood much lower than I think is average, he has these depressive modes that he slips into occasionally, I’m not even sure how to describe them. He’ll just cry and keep on repeating that he’s bad over and over again and it’s like he can’t even hear me talking to him anymore. The hope isn’t that therapy or meds would make him HAPPY, they’d just sort of level him out so that he can feel happy naturally. His moods are so imbalanced. Most peoples emotional range goes from 1-10, my poor boy’s only go 1-5. The meds aren’t to make him be a 10, but to open the range back up to 1-10.
