Why does my anxiety and depression get so bad when i'm tired? what can i do, when this happens and i can't sleep to help feel better?

Chicken or egg: Anxiety and depression or the medications used to treat the diorders may the cause of the fatigue, it is a common complaint. If you cannot get restful sleep, it becomes a viscous cycle. The disorder may cause the fatigue and the lack of proper restfulness to help. A mental health professional should be consulted.
