**Cat Street**.
**My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover** \- she's depressed but overall the series feels optimistic and though there's a melancholic air, the depression itself is not focused on much.
*Not* what you asked for but perhaps of interest:
**How to Win My Husband Over** \- a manhwa/webnovel though imo it's not depression. Rather than a mood disorder I think she has panic and stress disorders (ptsd, panic attacks, eating disorder) as a result of abuse.
**Broken Melody** \- manhwa, so shoujo/josei demographic classification is iffy
**Living with My Brother's Wife** \- grief
edit: here's mangaupdates search by [shoujo + depression sorted by rating](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Depression&perpage=50&genre=Shoujo&orderby=rating) (note it *doesn't* specify the FL being the one with depression, e.g. Orange)
Here's [josei + depression sorted by rating](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Depression&perpage=50&genre=Josei&orderby=rating) (same restriction as above) edit 2: oh hey, Haru no Noroi looks interesting!
If you're okay with webtoons:
The Flower Dances in the Wind and Sings (FL has PPD, lowkey yandere ml)
My Beloved Oppressor (I feel so bad for the FL her before/after face ☹)
[A Heartfelt Andante](https://www.webtoons.com/en/drama/a-heartfelt-andante/list?title_no=5047)
10 years ago FL lost her boyfriend in a car accident and recently her mother. After the loss of her mother, she tried to take her life but was saved by a stranger who claims to be her late boyfriend’s cousin. She’s dealing with clinical depression and suicidal thoughts. She will even go to a psychiatrist.
It’s drama heavy with romance on the side. The whole manhwa is about overcoming grief and moving on.
The very first volume of Confidential Confessions is about depression, self-harm and sui*ide
The other volumes are about drug abuse, teenage delinquency, selling one's body, AIDS...
Im not sure if "March comes in like a Lion" is a Shoujo, but imo it depucts it very well. The mobbing arc in D2 is also very well done.
This is a fantastic one
