Why do people with mental illnesses get tired so easily?

[Anonymous]

Is it their medication, or their condition?

Not everyone takes medication, sometimes it makes their mental illness worse. It’s due to a chemical imbalance in their brain. It makes them sluggish and mentally tired. Mental illness and PTSD has been studied and shown to cause memory loss and chronic tiredness.

Condition.

Even before I got treated, I was always tired no matter what.

mental illnesses are about a hundred different conditions.

Some of them like depression have symptoms like lack of motivation and energy, which you could describe as "getting tired easy".
