Most definitely. And sex is like the best thing for a headache (I'm not kidding either).

Depression can cause all kinds of health problems.
Headaches are often a product of stress, and depression definitely causes stress. (Among other things).
The important thing is to find out what is going on within yourself. You may be depressed because of things that are going on and that is less depression than a reasonable reaction to certain stimuli (for instance... the weather changing depresses a lot of people). Or you may have more of an issue.
Either way, you need to get in touch with yourself and find out what is going on.
Of course, headaches can be caused by any number of other factors... (the aforementioned weather change, allergies, even your diet can play a huge role).
The best thing is to talk to your doctor about the problem and work together to find a workable solution for you.
*(I WOULD caution you to be careful if your doctor just wants to put you on medication right away though, SSRIs which are the common depression treatment these days, can be VERY addictive in a way and in many cases can alter the way your body deals with serotonin for life... it is something to consider, especially if your depression isn't physiological but emotional in nature).
Good luck, my friend.

Yes, depression can be a medical problem where certain nerve endings in the brain are not behaving properly. It can definitely cause headache as well as other aches all over the body. There are a multitude of symptoms related to depression, headache is just the tip of the iceburg.

I have been suffering from post partum depression for the past one year when I gave birth to a baby boy. I couldn't stop thinking about how my husband loves him more than me and how things might be better if he wasn't born at all. Thus, I stayed away from him because I knew that I might do something I will regret for the rest of my life.
Almost instantly I went to a therapist and convince them that I need help. Among other things, I've tried herbal supplements and other book to treat depression but nothing works like the Depression Free Method. So now I'm proud to say I'm one of the happiest mother in the world. My husband loves us both very much and I thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us.
Depression Free Method?

Yes!!!
One of the most common causes of headaches is emotional stress or depression. Feelings of anger or anxiety can cause muscular tension in the face and scalp, leading to a full-blown tension headache. Insomnia and depression can also trigger headaches, which gives some credibility to the connection between seratonin levels and facial nerve irritation.

depends on the headache, I been depressed for a while, and seems that the only time I get a headache is when someone ticks me off, or I see bright lights, either then that I do not think it can cause it, but I am not a doctor so I would not be able to answer this question for you!

Yes because often with depression your body is tense. You may be getting tension headaches. Also some ante-depressants can cause headaches.

Yes they are often the underlying cause of headaches. Though severe depression would have a lot more effects than just headaches i.e. mood swings, loss of appetite, etc

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
