Maybe you should screw your head right. What is so depressing about the news? Journalism has always been about sensationalism and clickbait, but for every depressing news, there are dozen little victories that the press ignores. We live in an age of unprecedented prosperity and the future trajectory is looking promising on multiple avenues. Millions of people will be lifted from poverty, hundreds of diseases will be eradicated, more and more people are getting connected globally and many things are affordable and will be increasingly so during your lifetime. We are sending rockets to space so casually that it's becoming mundane even to a layperson. Don't get me wrong, sure we are facing serious stuff on many many avenues, but you have to understand the scale and nature of everything that is going on. News only covers the wafer-thin cross-section of the global experience, and even then they just cover the fumbles and foibles.
Maybe what I'm saying is that you have to balance your diet with the awesome heroics that people constantly do and broaden your view of what is actually happening around the world. I don't have a simple answer to this, but what I can suggest is that maybe you look for science and engineering news, there might be positive sources for the developing human condition other than trashy journalism.
