Overview

Fatigue is a general feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, or lack of energy that is not relieved by rest. It is a common complaint that can be caused by a variety of activities, illnesses, or medical conditions. Fatigue can cause a number of physical and mental impairments, and can lead to decreased performance in all areas of life. The causes of fatigue are wide-ranging but can be divided into mental and physical fatigue. Mental fatigue is often caused by stress, boredom, or a lack of motivation, while physical fatigue is caused by an excessive amount of physical activity. Proper rest and management of stress are key to reducing fatigue. Severe fatigue can be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as anemia, depression, or thyroid disease, so it is important to seek medical evaluation if fatigue persists. Treatments for fatigue vary depending on the cause, but may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and counseling.
