Yes it can, and yes, depression almost always leads to other problems. Depression is a dark force that takes over your life. It invades everything.

I think it can. Anxiety and suicidal thoughts are a couple of other problems that could occur. I would say that depression leads to other problems more than half the time.
Yes, untreated depression can lead to suicidal tendencies. It will if left untreated; seek prompt professional help.

Yes,Depression can lead to other problems such as sleeping or eating disorders.It can even interfere with our daily works if not taken care of.
If it goes untreated depression can definitely lead to other problems. It could lead you into financial problems or your relationship. Anything you need motivation to keep on doing will suffer during depression.

Besides the risk and problems depression alone plays on you, it's definitely not uncommon for other mental illnesses to be triggered by the depression. It has been commonly linked to most forms of Anxiety(General, social, separation, panic, phobia, etc) OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Eating Disorders, Dissociation/Depersonalization, etc. That does not mean you are determined or "supposed" to have any other illnesses, simply that it's been associated with these other disorders before.
