Hello,
Depression and anxiety can cause sleep disorders and vice versa. Get an evaluation done by a psychiatrist and get prescribed antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
