Maybe it isn’t a problem at all. Another possible conclusion is that given the option of a drug that can ~safely make people happier, a substantial percentage of people will take it.

People don’t get antidepressants to go from 8 to 9. They get them to go from 4 to 5 (on a 0-10 happiness scale).
or, maybe a 5 to 6. Or a 7 to 8. Or a 4 to 6. Or a 5 to 8. Without research, it's hard to definitively say - and happiness is not easy to measure.

Do you know anyone who is happy and takes antidepressants? (Apart from short-term chronic pain treatment) (genuine question)

I don't know who is taking antidepressants and who isn't, and I don't know who is happy and who isn't. I also don't think 'happy' is quantifiable, so I think judging whether someone is a '2' or a '4' or an '8' is impossible given current technology.
