Balasubramaniam L. Dec 2, 2006:
हताश = depressed; दुखी = sad; blue = उदास; feeling down = हतोत्साहित or निरुत्साहित
Arun Singh Dec 1, 2006:
In my opinion, depression is a disease, therfore according to major symptom we can think about appropriate term. I feel, Nirutsahit is better.
Seema Ugrankar (asker) Dec 1, 2006:
I have hit on hataash, hatotsaahit, udaas and dukhi for feeling down, depressed, sad, blue respectively. Can you help matching the right terms for each.
Would hatotsaahit be appropriate for depressed?

Selected

उदास, हताश

These are the terms used in Hindi for depressed.

Also:

अवसादपूर्ण
विषादी
मंद
मायूस
निराश
(The last two are closer in meaning to hopelessness, which is a key component of depression.).

udaas, khinna, vishaadpurna

The term depression itself translates as vishaad, udaasi or glaani. (The medical glossary translates it as 'avasaad') [Wish I could read the answer that is probably posted in Unicode]

agree Balasubramaniam L. : If you keep the browser encoding to utf-8, you should be able to see the Unicode Hindi properly.
