Morphology

get + depresh

The structure is compositional: 'get' conveys 'become' and 'depresh' appears to be an informal/clipped variant of 'depressed', so the overall meaning 'become depressed' is derivable if the learner recognizes the slang form. However 'depresh' is nonstandard and not dictionary-listed, so many B1 learners would fail to map it to 'depressed' without prior exposure, making the expression only partially predictable.

Etymology

Get depresh is a playful short form of 'get depressed' that you might hear in casual talk. The sound mixes de- and press, like being 'pressed' down, so it creates the image of becoming low or sad — that's why it means 'to become depressed' or 'feel down'.
