Why do you get tired/ no energy when you’re depressed?
In: Biology
Clinical depression, the illness, involves a chemical imbalance in your brain. You don’t have the right amount of neurotransmitters moving in the right quantities to the right places.
People with depression still feel emotions – you can feel happy for a little while and have depression – because depression itself is an illness and not an emotion.
The reason people often feel more tired when they have depression is due to this same chemical imbalance. The brain’s rhythms and cycles are all out of whack due to the illness. Most chronic illnesses have this effect on the sufferers.
