Which is worst depression or apoplexy?

Can't say: Apoplexy is an outdated term that used to mean a stroke or brain hemorrhage. Since these can result in sudden death, you could probably say apoplexy is worse than depression. But you're really comparing apples and oranges — like asking if depression is worse than a concussion or a broken arm. It all depends.

Apoplexy: Apoplexy refers to an acute vascular insufficiency or hemorrhage, usually in the brain, the pituitary gland, or the ovary. It is characterized often by a sudden falling out or even unconsciousness due to the bleeding. It is a very acute event. Depression is a chronic, sometimes very severe, disease that usually responds well to treatment w counseling or medications. Depression has risks but fewer.
