Fatigue
Understanding causes and restoring your natural energy through integrative care
What is Fatigue?
Fatigue is a persistent feeling of tiredness, lack of energy, and mental or physical exhaustion that does not improve with rest. While normal tiredness has a clear cause and resolves with rest, chronic fatigue persists despite adequate sleep and interferes with daily activities. Fatigue can result from psychological conditions like depression and anxiety, medical conditions, lifestyle factors, or can be idiopathic (without identifiable cause). Understanding the underlying mechanism is essential for effective treatment.
