Yes, depression can more often than not, lead to other problems. I have personally undergone this, so I can say this as a fact. When I was going through a tough time, I looked to alcohol and smoking as an escape.

Often, depression in itself is already a problem. However, rooting from it, there's suicidal thoughts, feelings of misanthropy and helplessness and can even lead to anxiety. It can happen often yes, however it can be controlled through therapy and medication.

Depression means withdrawal, so it can prevent you from living the life you want to live. You might be afraid of failing or disappointing others, so you prefer to withdraw. The solution however is to find professional help, get self-help, and get back into life. Take small steps a time. Even small things will give you a sense of accomplishment.

Yes, depression often leads to other problems, because the depressed person is often too depressed to take care of themselves, do their work, or interact with the people around them. My depression was a large factor in my girlfriend breaking up with me, since I was too depressed to find work or do housework.
