What is Emotional Fatigue?

Emotional fatigue refers to a state of mental exhaustion caused by prolonged psychological stress. It commonly develops when the brain and nervous system remain in a constant state of emotional strain.

Unlike normal tiredness, emotional fatigue does not improve with sleep alone. Instead, it requires identifying and addressing the root cause such as hormonal imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, chronic illness, or ongoing stress.
