Depressing experiences uncovered for title-holder (5)
I believe the answer is:
owner
'title-holder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'depressing experiences uncovered' is the wordplay.
'depressing experiences' becomes 'downers'.
'uncovered' indicates the central letters.
The centre of 'downers' is 'OWNER'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for owner that I've seen before include "One who has something" , "Legal possessor" , "Keeper" , "The person in legal possession" , "Man of property" .)
