It's clear I've contrived to get over the depression (7)
I believe the answer is:
evident
'it's clear' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'i've contrived to get over the depression' is the wordplay.
'contrived' is an anagram indicator.
'to get over' says to put letters next to each other.
'the depression' becomes 'dent' (synonyms).
'ive' is an anagram of 'evi'.
'evi'+'dent'='EVIDENT'
(Other definitions for evident that I've seen before include "Quite obvious and clear" , "on display" , "Obvious - 1 across" , "Incontrovertible" , "Obvious, quite apparent" .)
