Can Stress And Depression Cause Spotting?

My girlfriend is supposed to have her period in exactly 5 days. Last friday she experienced light spotting which went away but came back today. She has been stressing this past week due to family problems and has even been depressed. Can this stress and depression cause her to spot?
