no stress and depression arent the same. you can feel stressed and no be depressed. everyone lives with a certain amount of stress in their lives, when stress gets to much for a person to cope then they can get depressed.

Depression is always about the past .
Anxiety about the future.
Stress is about the here and now.
It is a perception that we are not in control.
Take control over what you can and let go of what you cannot.
