Recently someone close to me is diagnosed with depression and anxiety which led me to wonder which is greater evil of the two?

I think the two tend to go together anyway. Most anxious people I know are also depressed. And vice versa. It's no coincidence that talk therapy and SSRIs are used to treat both.

@jerry260188 The person himself is liable to his action.One must not be affected much with some problem.The best way to get rid off depression is to east the right vegetables like celery, cauliflower, spinach, parsley.These are anti-depressant vegetables, and to get rid off anxiety, eat plenty of nuts and beans and liver from fishes and chicken.They are the best stuffs that unclogged mental worries that lead to depression and anxiety.

Both of them but...depresion it's permanent until you treet it but anxiety is time to time and you treet here...so in my opinion depresion is worst. I'm sorry for youre close one but if you are next to him everything will be fine

Both of them are dangerous. I think that anxiety leads to depression and depression can be as dangerous as cancer. Medical treatment is best way, but first trying with positive mind and support from friends and family. :)

That two sicknesses are closely related.When one is depressed, he/ she is afraid of the unknowns.Every moment there is fear and scare due to depressive feeling.

i think it's anxiety because it is brought by depression and other factors.

I don't think one can compare the two. They go hand in hand. I have a friend she too has depression and get anxiety attacks from time to time! When i first saw her having an attack i was very scared and i thought the worst possibility. One really needs a lot of support to get out of this!
