Morphology

nondepressed = depressed (transparent) = non + depress + ed

The adjective 'depressed' is transparently formed from the verb 'depress' + '-ed', and adding the productive negating prefix 'non-' yields a straightforward negation.

Etymology

Nondepressed breaks into non- meaning 'not' and depress meaning 'to press down', like the common word press. So a nondepressed region is one that was not pushed down in activity or value and stayed more active than a 'depressed' place.
