Could stress, difficulty in sleeping, weight gain and headache be due to depression?

Hi,I have been having trouble with stress and basically dealing with life. I have been having trouble sleeping, I have been gaining weight and have been having headaches every day. I have no energy and have been having trouble working because of all of this.  I am wondering if this could be caused by depression or if I should look further into it.Thanks

Hi,I can understand the distress that you seem to be having due to your symptoms. The symptoms that you have mentioned in your query are highly suggestible of depressive disorder. I would suggest that yous seek a psychiatric consultation for your symptoms.Treatmnet with anti-depressants medications like sertraline would beneficial. In addition, you should start exercising daily which will help you relax. Sharing your emotions with someone or writing diary on a daily basis could also help you de-stress and relax.Hope you found this information helpful. Best wishes.
