Melancholy valley (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depression

I believe this is a double definition.

'melancholy' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'valley' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for depression that I've seen before include "Blues" , "despair" , "Bad times" , "Nineteen twenty nine financial slump" , "gloom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
