Repression is subduing something or someone by force. In the case of a connection between it and depression, it could also be the subduing of a certain thought or feeling.
Depression is a feeling of sadness and despondency.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

You would be depressed if someone didn't answer your question.
Your feeling and memory of this horrible situation would be repressed... you would be depressed and you wouldn't know why.
