Answer 3

Depress is associated with lowering, sadness, pressing down, and exhaustion. Press means "to move by weight or force in any direction" (including down) and is associated with pressure, stress, and urgency. "Depress" somehow serves as a synonym for "press", without reciprocation. Neither serves as an antonym to the other. Antonyms for "press" include calm, harmony, and peace; while antonyms for "depress" include cheer, lift, make happy. The prefix "de" means to reduce, remove, or reverse. So if we "de" everything about "press" then we would remove pressure, stress, and the opposites of said antonyms. And if we "de" everything about "depressed", the same applies except for the fact that the "de's" would cancel each other out and you would now be pressed. And as we've learned, being pressed is clearly not good, and in fact, the same as depressed. Maybe the "de" in "depress" isn't a prefix, otherwise I believe that the mental health community should be working to depress those who are truly pressed. Logic cannot dictate any alternative claim.

Answer 4

The prefix for "depression" is "de-". In linguistics, a prefix is an affix which is placed before the stem of a word. In this case, "de-" is a prefix that denotes reversal or removal. When added before the word "depression," it changes the meaning to indicate a state of low mood or sadness.
