Could Your Fatigue Be Mental Health-Related?

Many people try adjusting their sleep schedule, cutting caffeine, or exercising more — and still feel drained. That’s because fatigue isn’t always physical. It’s often rooted in mental or emotional strain.

Here are some of the leading mental health conditions linked to chronic tiredness:

1. Depression: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of depression. People often describe feeling like they’re carrying a heavy weight or lacking the energy to complete basic daily tasks.

2. Anxiety Disorders: When your mind is constantly racing or on edge, your body remains in a high-alert state. This chronic stress response eventually leads to mental exhaustion and physical fatigue.

3. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Many teens and adults with ADHD experience fatigue from the mental strain of trying to stay focused, organized, or emotionally regulated.

4. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Survivors of trauma may feel ongoing exhaustion due to hypervigilance, disrupted sleep, and emotional withdrawal.

5. Bipolar Disorder: During depressive episodes, those with bipolar disorder often experience low energy, excessive sleeping, and feelings of heaviness.
