Chronic fatigue is something that people with depression will often feel. Like anxiety, however, feeling excessively or abnormally tired does not mean you are depressed. Tiredness is merely one aspect of being depressed that some people suffer from. Not all do, so it is important to understand that sleeping badly is not necessarily a sign of the onset of a depressive state. Usually, dealing with chronic fatigue will involve breathing exercises, the use of massage and getting into good pre-bedtime routines. However, depressed people will often find that they are tired because they cannot sleep at all. Often their mind will be racing, or they will feel too distracted to drop off. The most common explanation for why this happens at a neurological level is because normal brain function through neurotransmitters is interrupted because of a lack of the right sort of hormones, such as serotonin or dopamine, for example.
