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
