Morphology
The compound simply combines 'agitated' (restless, anxious) with 'depression' (a depressive disorder), so the meaning — a depressive condition marked by irritability and increased motor activity — is directly derivable from the constituents. Although clinical in register, the adjective+noun composition is transparent and predictable for learners who know both words.
Etymology
Agitated depression comes from the two words agitated, which means shaken and unable to stay still, and depression, which means 'sadness'. Imagine someone who is very sad but also pacing and snapping at others; that image explains why it means 'depression with strong restlessness'.
