The sight of a grey sky always pulled her down. She was not sure, if she was imagining the red streaks on the sky, or if they were real. She looked at the dense fog, and wondered if the sunlight was cutting through the fog, or the fog was overpowering sunlight. The latter appeared to be a distinct possibility.
She remembered the evening, when she had seen him drive into oblivion, disappearing into the fog. Life had never been the same again. Doctors had labelled her condition as Clinical Depression. Only she knew it was loss of a life purpose.

Well, I can certainly see that losing one’s life purpose is reason for clinical depression.
I have been there. Glad it’s finally gone.

I could see this scene so easily. Clinical Depression seems so—well, clinical. The utter grief and loss this woman felt was so much more.

That is the issue with many diseases. Nobody sees the years of pain that have brought one to this pass.

I think you have captured the idea of how weather effects our mood and also having no sense of purpose plays on our self esteem. So much said in so few words.
