Depression and Extreme Tiredness

5 Replies

Can depression cause extreme tiredness? I am always tired and freezing (freezing is because of diabetes) but I don't know why I am always tired.

In a word, yes. I am constantly tired and need to sleep every afternoon. I think it is all our negative thoughts running around our head that are so exhausting.

Hi there I will start off what I've have happen! I have had very tired periods and I'm also a type 2 diabetic as is my father he is tired most of the time depending on how his blood count is! I would also say that the depression on its own shouldn't cause extreme tiredness but insomnia which some people with depression suffer from could be the problem! I hope you get better soon all the best david

I, too, am very tired all the time. I know I don't get enough sleep, I'm anemic and have type 2 diabetes. If any one comes up with a rational explanation, I'd love to hear it.
