Brief Answer:
Unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Feeling of no energy in legs and arms and sudden sweat could be indicative of anxiety but not of depression.

Mostly depression presents with sadness of mood rather than mentioned features.

Presence of pain and night sweats could be marker of vitamin B 12 deficiency so having a trial of Vitamin B 12 is warranted.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
