Blue pills a doctor might provide (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sad

'blue' is the definition.
(I know that blue can be written as sad)

'pills a doctor might provide' is the wordplay.
'provide' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SAD' is hidden within 'pills a doctor might'.

(Other definitions for sad that I've seen before include "Melancholy, downhearted" , "Sorrowful, unhappy" , "Miserable" , "Disconsolate" , "Melancholy, triste" .)
