Chronic exhaustion or excessive fatigue disorder

You might be suffering from exhaustion if you feel the following:
Tired all the time.
Trouble getting up in the morning.
Depending on artificial stimulants like tea, coffee or colas to keep going.
Feeling run down and stressed.
Every day seems too long.
Struggling to keep up with life's daily demands.
Taking a long time to recover from illness.
Not having fun any more. Decreased sex drive.
Too tired to enjoy life.

Excessive fatigue disorder has three defining characteristics:

excessive fatigue, weakness, and lack of energy,
Irritability
Feeling demoralized

Personalized treatment usually needs to be customized to every exhausted individual. The first step is the removal of the initial stressors, detoxification, and treatment to balance your mental health. Also varied remedies aimed at relieving specific symptoms like insomnia, depression and digestive problems is also advised.
Mental exhaustion is a state you reach mentally when you get to a point where you have no answers or solutions to deal with or resolve the stresses you feel in your life.
Excessive exhaustion may lead to cardiac failure, blood pressure, depressed mood, lowered self-esteem and guilt feelings and is also associated with increased levels of insulin.

Group discussions, yoga,anger management,active participation in reducing the level of mental stress or strain would reduce exhaustion as well as the risk of cardiac failure.

Chronic exhaustion may be due to underlying physical disease, chronic viral infection, kidney or heart failure and muscle and joint disease and needs to be excluded in any who feel their energy levels are too low. Tiredness is also a side effect of many medications - beta-blockers and some of those used to treat epilepsy are major culprits. If all possible physical causes of lack of energy are excluded, than the underlying cause might be psychological.

Often the causes of excessive fatigue are more mental than physical. A bad relationship, poor self image, a history of abuse, stress, frustration and many other factors can change your overall attitude towards life which may directly impede your overall performance. Such tendencies are deep-rooted in mind and nurtured by excessive negative emotions.
