Answer 2

depressed is when you are feeling down and ur not in a good state, ur mainly unhappy. Anxious is when u are nervous for something that is going to happen.

Answer 3

depressed is when you just don't feel like getting up all day, don't want to do much of anything but lay around and watch tv or sleep.

Think of a time  you may have gone to a job interview.  Think how nervous you felt and your symptoms of nervousness,  That is the correct time to feel anxious.  Now take those same feelings and if you have them at odd times during the day...maybe when you are brushing your teeth, or talking to a friend, or shopping.  Those are inappropriate times to be anxious so that usually is a guideline for anxiety disorders.
