Is it illegal to hit people with depression?

It is illegal to hit people with depression. People with depression are not people without criminal capacity at all, but people with limited criminal capacity, so it is illegal for people with depression to hit people. However, because they hit people at the onset of illness, they can be regarded as people with limited criminal capacity, and the circumstances of hitting people can be compared with those with full criminal capacity, so they can be appropriately sentenced.
