An opened plastic pack of sliced cheese, resting on a tablecloth with multiple colours. Within it is a slice of yellow cheese with holes.
A pack of sliced cheese can be considered a depression meal.

A depression meal is an informal term for dishes that have recipes that require a low amount of effort and ingredients,[1][2] and is associated with individuals that suffer from a depressive mood disorder or that otherwise feel depressed, have low energy, or are experiencing disordered eating.[3]

Examples of dishes that may be considered depression meals include cooked rice with soy sauce and butter, spaghetti with cheddar, canned chili with Fritos, sliced cheese, and microwaved sweet potato with tuna mayonnaise.[4] Ordering takeaway has also in some cases been noted as a depression meal, due to the convenience when an afflicted person doesn't have "spoons" to prepare a full meal.[3]
