No answer.: Three children who are not demanding and stressful, might be less fatigueing then a problemed, argumentative, older teenager. Therefore you cannot compare. There is no specific answer. Talk with your doctor and a therapistt!

Can anyone recommend a homeopathic remedy for nervous exhaustion?
1 doctor answer • 2 doctors weighed in
Dr. Pamela Pappasanswered

Complex problem: "nervous exhaustion" is a vague description of a chronic problem. To find an appropriate remedy, an experienced homeopath would need to take your case comprehensively. You would need to describe what you experience far beyond its name ("nervous exhaustion"). Any of 3000-4000 remedies could be the one you need. Collaboration between the homeopath & your regular doctors is wise also.

How to deal with exhaustion?

Dr. Ernest Bordinianswered

Rest is good: Adequate sleep, avoidance of stimulants, and alcohol, proper nutirition, hydration, exercise... And of course adequate sleep. Naps of less than 1/2 hour probably wont help - uninterupted sleep for at least 6-7 preferrably 8 hours a night helps. If one has lost a lot of sleep it can take a week or so to get back to normal.
