Unhappily, FBI can always bring depression after confinement? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
cabin fever
'depression after confinement?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'unhappily fbi can always' is the wordplay.
'unhappily' indicates an anagram.
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'fbi'+'can'='fbican'
'fbican' with letters rearranged gives 'cabinf'.
'cabinf'+'ever'='CABIN FEVER'
'bring' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
