Chronic fatigue is a debilitating and persistent condition characterized by profound and unrelenting tiredness or exhaustion that is not alleviated by rest or sleep. It is often accompanied by a range of other symptoms such as muscle pain, cognitive difficulties (commonly referred to as “brain fog”), and disrupted sleep patterns. Chronic fatigue is typically not the result of a single identifiable cause but rather a complex interplay of factors, including underlying medical conditions, psychological factors, lifestyle, and environmental influences. This condition significantly impacts a person’s daily functioning, often limiting their ability to carry out routine activities and impairing their overall quality of life. Managing chronic fatigue often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including medical evaluation, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes psychological support, to help individuals cope with and alleviate its persistent symptoms.
