It's working: He's not depressed because the antidepressants are working! or, maybe he's taking it for pain or headaches.

Depression medicines: Antidepressants can certainly be used for depression, but are also effective in various anxiety disorders. Aggressiveness is another possible use in some people, and so is ptsd symptoms. I don't know why this was prescribed for your boyfriend, but he would know the symptoms he originally had.
