Constant fatigue, weakness, and lack of desire are not always signs of depression.
Medianews.az reports that Turkish psychologist and child development specialist Sare Şen spoke about this matter.
She states that these conditions are often related to deficiencies in vitamin B12 and D, iron deficiency, as well as thyroid disorders.
According to her, in many cases, even though people feel unwell, the physical causes of the problem are not investigated. However, such deficiencies can manifest themselves with symptoms like fatigue, poor concentration, and loss of motivation.
The specialist notes that before rushing to diagnose, a blood test must definitely be taken, because in some cases the cause of the problem is not psychological but deficiencies within the body.
Nonetheless, it is not correct to say that all cases are related to physical causes. The mind and body are closely connected and both aspects should be evaluated together. If the test results come back normal, then focusing on psychological factors is considered more appropriate.
