How to use it
The word 'mukta'ib' (مكتئب) is the most direct translation for 'depressed' when referring to a state of sadness and low spirits, often associated with clinical depression. 'Muḥbaṭ' (محبط) is also used and can mean 'disappointed' or 'discouraged', but it can also imply a feeling of being depressed due to circumstances.
