Actually I think they are both adjectives--as I said one describes a
person and the other the effect something has on something else. The
examples you give to use them as verbs don't really apply here. Lots
of people are just depressed, not necessarily "by" something. And
lots of things are depressing, not necessarily right this minute.
OK, this is blatantly not funny, I guess I was just trying to say
that just because a comedian is depressed doesn't mean his show is
depressing, but it is often not funny.
