Dear you,
Yes vitamin deficiency can have similar symtoms of depression and anxiety but not similar causes.
Step 1 - start supplements.
Step 2- you have to go out in sunlight and socialise no matter what. Break that comfort zone.

Hi it can be due to limited intake of water. Working long hours in a computer can also cause headaches. Thinking about an uncertain situation,unable to spend time out, etc all these can cause headache, anxiety, depression. For further consult with me online.

Vitamins and supplements are important as some times our diet and routine does not fulfil the deficiency.
You must spend time in the sun and also take the supplements post checking from a GP or your known medical practitioners.
