It could. Depression could also cause you to feel anxious. It depends, really, on why you think that, and what you're experiencing. You could be depressed because your anxiety keeps you from going out or seeing friends, or for other reasons.

Any number of stressors can have an effect on depression. Anxiety is a larger emotion, so it has more impact on your mental health.

Well, not all the times. I mean anxiety sometimes makes me feel sad but only if I don't overcome it. Basically the way I see anxiety and fear most of the times is that they're both brick walls that are set in front of us so that we have to to make an effort of willpower in order to break them so that we could be happy. So I believe that there are 2 options for approaching this brick wall: 1. You don't jump over/break it down and you start to feel sad or even depressed(based on the situation at hand) and 2. You make an effort of willpower to break it down/jump over it and when you leave the brick wall behind you, you start to feel a great sense of achievement and happiness because you've just done something that you weren't able to do in the past and the next time you are dealing it the situation that made you feel anxious, it's going to be a lot easier to deal with it, but you just gotta make that effort ;)

Yes. Anxiety is often associated to depression and people who are diagnosed with depression often have anxiety, and vice-versa.

It can. Sadly, it can. Anxiety does not automatically come with depression, and vice versa. But I, myself, have seen many cases where the individual was diagnosed with depression that occured from anxiety.

Very much so. Anxiety can make you over worry and make you feel not good enough, which leads to depression.

From personal experience (mine and friends), it seems that anxiety and depression often come hand in hand. Anxiety deals with your thoughts, often making things seem bigger than they really are. This can feed depression. On the flip side, your depression can feed into negative thoughts that make you anxious.

Yes, anxiety can put limitations on your life, your not able to do the things you would normally do or they cause a lot more effort. This can cause depression.

Anxiety can or cannot bring the depression. It depends upon the situation. Anxiety is characterized by a sense of doubt and vulnerability about future events. The attention of anxious people is focused on their future prospects, and the fear that those future prospects will be bad. Anxiety Disorders are characterized by a variety of symptoms involving anxious thoughts, unexplained physical sensations, and avoidance or self-protective behaviors. While A person whose primary problem is depression, rather than anxiety, generally doesn't show the same fear and uncertainty that people do with anxiety disorders. Depressed people are not so preoccupied with worrying about what might happen to them in the future. They think they already know what will happen, and they believe it will be bad; the same bad stuff that's happening to them now .Depression may come on as a relatively sudden and severe problem, or it may consist of a longer term set of symptoms which are less severe.
