In my opinion, inability to cope with whatever is going on with life is still not depression. It is, however, something that can and should be addressed (possibly through therapy). In fact, I believe using antidepressants for such cases is counter-productive, making people rely on pills to feel alright instead of acquiring the adequate coping mechanisms or mental processes. Giving drugs (whatever their legal status) to terminally ill patients is acceptable, but it's still not treating any illness known as depression.
