After depression it gets you hopping from the chair (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
remote control
'after depression' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'it gets you hopping from the chair' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for remote control that I've seen before include "Electron motor? (anag)" , "Operation at a distance" , "Electronic device" , "Device used by couch potatoes?" , "Device encouraging sedentary habits in TV watchers?" .)
