Fatigue is often described as a lack of energy and motivation that can be experienced both physically and mentally. The condition usually develops gradually and sufferers may not notice the issue until they begin comparing their current energy levels to past levels. 

People with fatigue may experience a lack of motivation, tire easily during activities, and have difficulty concentrating, which makes simple tasks exhausting.
