The option that is **not** a risk factor for clinical depression is:
**being sad and tired every once in a while.**
While experiencing sadness and fatigue can be symptoms of depression, they do not qualify as risk factors for developing clinical depression in the way the other options do. The other options reflect more persistent or significant influences that can contribute to the onset of depression.
