People who are depressed, etc., as you explain, do have atendancy to try to bring others down since they don't have the emotional stability to bring themselves up.  It is never correct to be rude.  May want to save a few of the e-mails.  However, first try the nice approach and see what the response is.  If that does not work, you have done your best.  Consult your boss for ideas on how to turn this situation around.  In this way, you are not actually bringing a problem to him/her, but trying to seek input to solve the problem.  Sometimes, they have to intercede.
