Question

Between frustration and depression which do you think is worst, or are they related ?

Answer 1

I believe depression is the worse, and I think they are first cousins because it's never one or the other it's usually both...

Answer 2

I've experienced both. Frustration is an emotion resulting from something you are concerned about or care about when it is not working to your advantage. Depression is an emotional "dead end". You become unresponsive to anything and everything around you. If you were depressed and was told that the world is going to end in 10 minutes, you wouldn't care. You'd probably want it to. I don't believe the two are related to one another at all. Having experienced both, I'd say that depression is worse. Frustration will go away - depression stays with you until you are treated by a medical professional.
