yes Rana sahib your correction also sounds correct but for me present perfect tense in the first part of above sentence should not be changed.

we often make mistakes confusing, depressed, and depressing, and confusing and confused.
I guess conditions are depressing (things which depress other things) so my guess is

Depressing conditions (everything else remains as rishzz suggested.
I am not sure, but some one should ask this from some expert.

not all sentences can be converted into passive voice.
There are some grammatical terms and rules about which sentences dont have passive voice but sorry, I somehow follow rules but cant remember.
Some expert person may tell you about that rule.
What I remeber is those sentences dont have passive voice the urdu translation of which does not have the word "ney" in simple past tense.

Example birds are flying
Prinday Urrey (and its not prindon ne urra) so it cant be made passive.

And if it were

Birds are singing a song
(prindonne gaana gaaya)
U can convert it into passive voice. but u cant convert just birds are singing ( prindon ne gaana gaaya)

However sometimes one can forcefully make a passive voice of some of such sentences. like "its being sung by birds. but such modification in sentences is not possible in majority cases.

Okay Assignment for you,

"Kashmir men 50 saal se aazadi ki jang lari ja rahi hai."
translate it in English without changing the basic structure.
