Fatigue

Everyone feels lethargic, weary, tired, or exhausted at some point in their lives. All of these terms can be used interchangeably to define fatigue, which basically means the experience of the lack of energy that is necessary to optimally perform routine tasks. Fatigue is not synonymous with drowsiness. Drowsiness is an intense desire to sleep whereas fatigue is characterized by low energy or an overall lack of motivation.

Approximately twenty percent of Americans complain of intense fatigue that interferes with their day-to-day lives. Fatigue is a difficult condition to diagnose and treat. It is important to determine the cause of chronic fatigue before beginning a treatment plan.
