What is the difference between a recession and a depression?

Additional Details
My Mom was born during the Great Depression but no one I know is taking this as seriously as they should be. I believe the USA as we know it, will be out of business 6 months from now, if a good solution isn't crafted.

A Recession is 2 or more consecutive quarters (3 month periods) of negaitive growth in an economy. Negative growth in the economy can result from job loss, lower stock market, lower GDP/exports, etc.

There is no finite definition of a Depression in economics terms (becuase it's really only happened once in history...1930s), other than it is a severe and extensive recession that last many years.

A recession is when you lose YOUR job.

A depression is when I lose MY job.

A recession is like your car when you get a small dent in a small accident. A depression is if your car is run over by a semi and tossed off a bridge ran over by another semi and tossed into the ocean where it is swallowed by a whale and well you get the point.

recession is your neighbors lose their jobs, depression is when you lose your job.

Actually, recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth, depression is 3 consecutive quarters of minus 10% growth.

Recession - Economics. a period of an economic contraction, sometimes limited in scope or duration.

Depression - Economics. a period during which business, employment, and stock-market values decline severely or remain at a very low level of activity.

I picture recession like a small valley, a depression like a large fjord.
