He does seem to have symptoms of depression from the information given . However , Any cases of severe headache should not be ignored. ( especially if there is history of hypertension) He should get a CT scan brain to rule out any neurological causes , you also mentioned pain in the legs..these need to be evaluated by a neurologist.
If cleared by a neurologist please get long term treatment from a competent psychiatrist for depression
