If a normal person..
Alright, so let's say you are a maybe not depressed, but not happy person.. Maybe like, neutral ALL the time.. & Let's say you take pills for depression.. What happens? Would it help? What would it make you feel like?

Pills for depression don't really have a huge impact, even if you do have depression, at least not at first. It's not like a drug like marijuana where you take it and get an instant high... you have to keep taking anti depressants for 4-6 weeks to feel any different, and a lot of the time what you feel is just the placebo affect - you think you will feel a certain way, so you do.
Even if you have depression (which I'm not sure you have, but a simple google search can give you a list of symptoms)the meds aren't necessarily a cure. The medicine gives the user more energy at first, so if you started using it you may feel more agitated than usual. The purpose of this is to get over the apathy associated with depression so you feel like doing things again. Other than that - my life improved with the medication, but I had trouble sleeping.
As to if the medicine makes you happy... I don't think anything can actually MAKE anyone happy. It's a bit of a human mystery, happiness. It comes and goes. Somethings might make you feel happier than others. The main thing is to enjoy the company of friends, talk to people, figure out what you enjoy doing and do it.
On your neutral feelings: you could be feeling neutral because you're not letting yourself feel. Maybe you're worrying about being depressed so aren't allowing yourself to feel sad, and are covering the sadness with your happiness, so that you don't feel either. I don't know. I'm no therapist. It could be that you're just in the middle of things, coasting. Maybe you need to challenge yourself more, talk to someone you wouldn't otherwise, get interested in things again.
Mainly, it's a bit unrealistic to look at anything really as a "solution". Seeing a psychologist isn't a bad idea. They "work" in some ways that they are people to talk to. I suggest you try some new things, maybe hang out with some people you like, and hang in there. Life in general isn't going to be rainbows and butterflies, and a lot of getting through whatever you have is going to be based on your own efforts (not necessarily meds).
Wish you luck and something exciting (hippos falling out of the sky, perhaps?).

k well unless their prescribed pills you really shouldn't be tking the because its sort of like a drug then and sometimes without knowing it their could be various side affects consult a doctor before you take such a step

Well I'll try to answer your answer the best way I can using my experience with depression.
1- As someone else said before,depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, antidepressants' job is to rectify that.
2- Finding the right antidepressant for you can be difficult, I know I went through a couple of different ones before finding one that helped. If you manage to find one that helps you function better without too many side effects, then yes, it does help.
3- Well that one's a tough question to answer... (Remember this is just my own experience, everyone reacts differently) I haven't had the best experience with antidepressants to tell you the truth. They help me function properly, for that I am eternally grateful, but the side effects are killer. Since starting them, my ability to form coherent thoughts has basically died, I've gotten sick often, tired All. The. Time., short term memory dead as well... But believe me, they were worth it. I'm better than I was.
My advice would be to go see your family doctor or a psychiatrist of some sort. Don't be shy about it, some people are ashamed, but there's no reason to be. It could be that you don't have depression, but better safe than sorry.

"your mind starts to think and you dont want that."
So that explains everyone on this site...

Depression pills are designed to correct an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. If there is no imbalance, the drugs could overcompensate and make bad things happen, including depression. They don't make you "happy".
According to the clinical criteria and what you told us, it sounds like you aren't suffering from depression. There could be something you didn't tell us, look at my test:

NO DO NOT TAKE PILLS! unless they are reccomended by a professional. i know at some times life is hard and boring but it doesnt have to be. make it fun. get your friends. and NEVER be alone. always find something to do because if you not doing anything then your mind starts to think and you dont want that.
hope that helped! if u have any more question just ask me whenever on whatever. tell others too =)
