President Satan concocted psychoactive drug (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antidepressant

'psychoactive drug' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'president satan concocted' is the wordplay.
'concocted' is an anagram indicator.
'president'+'satan'='presidentsatan'
'presidentsatan' anagrammed gives 'ANTIDEPRESSANT'.

(Other definitions for antidepressant that I've seen before include "Mood-lightening drug" , "Uplifting drug" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
