Dead ends making you depressed? (8)
I believe the answer is:
saddened
'depressed?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'dead ends making' is the wordplay.
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'dead'+'ends'='deadends'
'deadends' anagrammed gives 'SADDENED'.
'you' is the link.
(Other definitions for saddened that I've seen before include "unhappiness" , "Made sorrowful" , "Made unhappy or melancholy" , "Distressed" .)
