There are just too many things that are possible, you might have a vitamin/mineral deficiency, you might in fact have bad eyesight (or your eyesight recently became worse), you might have parasites, you may just not be sleeping enough (compounded by the insomnia). Depression is more about your psychological state than your physical one (though it can manifest physical symptoms).

If you stay home or use a computer a lot at night you may have a weak consitution overall. Part of that is not getting enough vitamin D, which is only made when you go out in the sun.

You need to see a psychologist, there should be some at your college/university you could get to know through friends. If you do have a lot of mental problems and find yourself feeling sad, unmotivated or suicidal for no apparent reason then you should definitely discuss this with your family and see if you need medical help.

A warning about depression drugs: They don't work for everyone, the first couple of weeks might feel worse, some of them have nasty side effects, most of them have nasty food/alcohol incompatibilities (like red wine, chocolate, cheese). See if you will improve with therapy first or if there's an alternate reason for your illness.
