You’d be feeling blue, too.

A fraudster who’s facing more than nine years in the slammer was taken from Manhattan federal court in a wheelchair yesterday after her lawyer said she’s “clinically depressed.”

Inna Ioulevitch, 51, collapsed into a chair in the lobby following a hearing at which her sentencing for scamming $700,000 to fund an “ostentatious lifestyle” was delayed until next month.

Judge Paul Crotty said he wanted to hear from Ioulevitch’s shrink whether she’s “competent” to help her lawyer plead for leniency.

Ioulevtich pleaded guilty in July to a six-year scheme in which she obtained crooked credit cards and bank loans by stealing the identities of a neighbor, a friend of a friend and her sister-in-law.

Prosecutors say she went on wild spending sprees at high-end department stores and took lavish vacations.
