A member asked:
Is psychological illness or anxiety could cause general weakness ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chronic anxiety or stress as well as depression are some of the causes of chronic fatigue. However a medical checkup is still needed to exclude other causes of chronic fatigue or weakness before we attribute them to psychological causes. If no medical illness found, then referral to a psychiatrist is recommended.
