A depression is much more severe.

Recessions are a natural part of the economic cycle, just as the trough of a wave must follow the peak.

A depression lasts longer, has higher unemployment and a greater decrease in stock prices.

It is likely that a depression has a different cause, from an Economics point of view, than a recession.
