Faced with depression, go in storeroom (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pantry

'storeroom' is the definition.
(I know that pantry is a type of storeroom)

'faced with depression go' is the wordplay.
'faced with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'depression' becomes 'pan'.
'go' becomes 'try' (both can mean an attempt).
'pan' put next to 'try' is 'PANTRY'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pantry that I've seen before include "Room off the kitchen" , "Food store" , "Store cupboard" , "Kitchen storeroom" , "Type of larder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
