This depends;

There are multiple different meanings to the word desperate;

1 - The feeling involving hopelessness in a situation that is extremely bad or impossible to deal with

(EXAMPLE: The woman had a desperate sadness overcome her)

2 - An attempt to fix something while in despair because everything else failed; usually having a no more than a sliver of hope and success

(EXAMPLE: He drank his problems away in a desperate attempt to fix his life)

3 - A situation that is extremely dangerous, awful, rough, serious, etc...

(EXAMPLE: There was a desperate lack of doctors)
