Mental Makeover: New Science on Combatting Mental Fatigue

Mental fatigue, migraines, and depression are closely connected, each fueling and worsening the other. This blog explores the migraine-fatigue cycle, from the early prodrome phase to postdrome symptoms dominated by exhaustion and cognitive changes. It highlights how shared triggers—like lack of sleep, chronic stress, and intense mental effort—worsen both conditions and increase the likelihood of depression. With overlapping symptoms such as headaches, irritability, and reduced concentration, the impact on daily life can be profound. Yet hope lies in self-care strategies: building resilience, moving your body, nourishing with proper foods and supplements, and making space for rest and joy. Small, consistent steps can reduce symptoms, improve mental clarity, and help break the cycle.
