Patient's question:
Since last month, I've been feeling completely exhausted and mentally strained. My friend said it's due to kidney deficiency, but ever since I heard that, I've been very anxious and restless, unable to sleep peacefully at night. I want to ask if there's a connection between kidney deficiency and mental exhaustion? Can they be related?Doctor's answer:
Kidney deficiency and neurasthenia are not necessarily related. Kidney deficiency is mainly caused by mental state, such as poor sleep, excessive stress, too much training fatigue, or heavy mental burden. Neurasthenia is mainly caused by excessive overthinking over a long period of time. These two conditions can affect each other, but there is no necessary connection between them.
