The causes of fatigue disorders can vary widely and may include physical, psychological, or environmental factors. Diagnosis often requires a thorough medical evaluation to rule out other conditions. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and may involve lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication to improve overall well-being.
