Can Depression And Psychological Problems Be Treatment By Something Besides Drugs?

I had a head injury at 15 years old. There is a small dent and no hair grows there. It is located near my hairline in the center of my forehead. There also a crack from that point down to my rightside browbone. I developed headaches which I recall began at that time. A few years ago a major shooting pain overcame me also on the right front of my head. From time to time there is pain near the dent. I ve never gotten any medical attention. I also suffer from depression and psychological problems I ve gotten psychiatric treatment for. I have never put the two together. Should I seek medical attention now for this and could I expect treatment for my depression and psychological problems to include any thing more than drugs if theses two things are correlated?
