Slump causing gloom (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depression

This clue is a double definition.

'slump' is the first definition.
('depression' can be a synonym of 'slump')

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

'causing' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
