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.

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

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

I would think that depression is more difficult to deal with.

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!
