What causes ongoing fatigue?

Persistent fatigue can come from many sources, from sleep, nutrition, and stress to medical conditions like anaemia or thyroid issues, or longer-term conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID. It shows up as both physical tiredness and mental wear-out, and rarely has a single cause. This self-assessment helps you describe how fatigue typically feels for you, rather than how you feel on any single day.

What this assessment explores

Top tips

Our best advice to help you get the most out of your self-assessment:

Usually your first instinct is the right one
Try not to over think each question.
Try not to get stuck on specific words
If a statement is 'mostly true' for you, don't get stuck on the word 'always'.
Be consistent in how you rate
If 'often' means weekly to you, apply that meaning throughout.
