絶望する (zetsubou suru)
I’m depressed.
“絶望する ” means “I’m depressed.” or “hopeless” which is a much stronger meaning than “失望する” such as you don’t want to do anything at all. So, we don’t often use this word in daily conversations than “失望する”. Because we don’t often have the situations of “絶望” than “失望“.
