Is it "deeply affected" or "deeply effected"?
"Deeply affected." The word describes an action done to someone — that's the verb affect.
Contexti
This phrasing shows up in condolence notes, news obituaries, and personal essays — contexts where a stray typo feels especially awkward. The adverb deeply is almost always attached to a verb, and that verb is affect.
A little moreii
Being "deeply affected" means something moved you or changed you. Effect as a verb exists ("to effect change") but it means to bring something into being, not to influence a person. When the sentence is about impact on a person, it is always affect.
Examplesiii
She was deeply effected by the news.
She was deeply affected by the news.
The news acted on her — verb slot → *affect*.
The film effected me more than I expected.
The film affected me more than I expected.
Same verb sense — something moved the writer.
Watch foriv
If you really mean "to bring about" a result (to effect change), effect is correct — but you would never pair it with deeply. Written as deeply effected, it is always the typo.

The action versus the result — a verb and a noun most of the time.
