I think "mid life crisis" can feel dismissive, making light of the problem or implying it is normal or just a phase. If he's been diagnosed with depression, why not name the problem "depression?" It's accurate.

It could be both a mid life crisis and depression. I just don't see what is to be gained by calling it a mid life crisis, is all.

Just my opinion.
