I've said before that I think a lot of people that think they suffer from depression are actually suffering from despair. I guess the more clinical term would be situational depression.

It's understandable to constantly feel anxiety over rising rents and living expenses in the face of flat wages, and their constant poor mood from the stress makes them think they're suffering from depression, and they'll seek help. But a Prozac or whatever won't make you feel any better about having a 2-digit bank account after paying the bills.
