I would think they're asking about problems in your personal life. What you DON'T want to do is bring up something that could make them worry about your future physical or mental health - so obviously this isn't the time to talk about how you overcame alcoholism or anything like that. You could talk about how hard it was for you when a family member was sick, when your house was broken into, or when you first moved to a new city (or country). I'm not sure I really believe this, but some people think that in any sales opportunity (which definitely would include job interviews) it's better to keep thing happy...so don't bring up someone close to you dying either. Whatever you choose, if you talk about how focusing on work helped you cope with your feeling, that should be especially appealing to potential employers.
