Always Tired: Feeling always tired can be a symptom of depression, anemia or hypothyroidism. Please see your psychiatrist to discuss all symptoms and your diagnosis.

Yes: Symptoms of adhd, particularly poor concentration and being easily distracted plus having no energy and being tired all the time can be seen in depression and anxiety as well as other illnesses such as anemia or an over or underactive thyroid. Please have your health care provider check things out.
