Abstract

One of the most prevalent non-specific symptoms in healthy young adult females is fatigue, whose psychopathophysiology is still little understood. Fatigue is a personal experience of feeling lethargic or exhausted, which affects one's ability to handle stress physically and mentally. Fatigue adversely affects both productivity at work and quality of life, notwithstanding deadly pathology. According to a Swedish study, women between the ages of 20 and 35 were more mentally fatigued than older women and men of all ages. Stress from work-life balance was a common explanation for this young adult female's high prevalence of weariness. However, a survey of college students also discovered that female students were more likely to have persistent weariness. As a result, the reason might have more to do with psychophysiology than the nature of employment.
