Symptoms of Anxiety:

restlessness or feeling keyed up or on edge
being easily fatigued
difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
irritability
muscle tension
sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless, unsatisfying sleep)

Symptoms of Depression:

Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities, including sex
Decreased energy, fatigue, feeling "slowed down"
Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
Low appetite and weight loss or overeating and weight gain
Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts
Restlessness, irritability
Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders and pain for which no other cause can be diagnosed.

~These are from the ADAA (the Anxiety and Depression Association of America).

I would briefly categorize as anxiety being more circumstantial based on what is in your environment (public speaking, girls, etc). Depression is more persistent, and usually has more constant variables (such as having cancer, loss of a friend, etc).

Answer 7

Most would say that depression is worse, but this is opinion based. Someone who experiences anxiety but not depression may find that to be worse (due to bias). In my opinion, depression is worse.
