  • Description: Mental fatigue or brain fatigue is a pathological and disabling symptom with diminished mental energy. It can be a long-lasting consequence after trauma or disease affecting the brain. The person can do most things in the moment and can be perceived as completely healthy, but the mental energy is insufficient over time and affects the ability to work and participate in social activities. After a conversation, for example, the person can be completely drained of energy and the recovery time is disproportionally long. Here we describe the phenomenon of mental fatigue, provide an explanatory model for how the condition can arise, point out diagnostic methods and possible treatments, which are currently in the research stage but may be implemented in healthcare within the foreseeable future.
