Depression Fatigue

It’s that constant feeling of tiredness and lack of energy. Depression and fatigue feed off each other. It’s often hard to say which came first. Physical and mental fatigue exist together. If you’re fatigued all the time, you’ll also be mentally tired. Concentrating on things becomes harder. This is dangerous when it comes to tasks like driving or operating heavy machinery. If your body is overwhelmed by stress, it reaches the point of despair where you see no light at the end of the tunnel. This overwhelming despair causes fatigue that seems to never end. Sleep problems and body pains also contribute to depression fatigue. Even if the depression is being treated, fatigue may linger because of the side-effects of medication or therapy.
