history: I have quite a lot of energy, but I know some people just aren't as lucky. Is their a medical condition for being constantly tired?

That must be awful. I wonder what causes it. Depression perhaps?
knowledge: Biological, genetic, infectious, and psychological mechanisms have been proposed, but the cause is not understood.
response: I don't think the cause is fully understood.  It could be genetic, could be biological, or it could be psychological.

Well, I guess the medical profession had better get to the bottom of it. It must be destroying people's lives!
knowledge: Evidence suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy and a gradual increase in activity suited to individual capacity can be beneficial in some cases.
response: I wouldn't know, but there is some evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy combined with increasing activity can help.

That makes sense. If a person exercises it often brings ones energy levels up.
knowledge: In a systematic review of exercise therapy, no evidence of serious adverse effects was found; however data was insufficient to form a conclusion.
response: There also hasn't been any evidence of any serious bad effects.

That is good. A healthy diet, positive thinking and exercise are things we all need. Perhaps that's what's needed.
knowledge: A healthy diet provides the body with essential nutrition: fluid, adequate amino acids from protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fibre and adequate calories.
response: A healthy diet is one that gives the body essential nutrition.
