Fatigue is a condition of tiredness or weakness that is physical, mental, or both. In fact, there is always a reason. Your health care provider will review your symptoms. He or she may ask about your daily routine, work habits, and home life. If you have a history of emotional stress or recurrent anxiety or depression, your fatigue may be caused by psychological problems.
Treatment depends on the cause.
If fatigue is a symptom of another condition or disease, that condition or disease will be treated. If the cause is emotional or psychological, your health care provider may refer you to a mental health professional for counseling or medication. The effects will last as long as the cause of the symptoms exists. First, get a medical checkup. Tiredness can signal a serious medical problem.
