A Note on the Significance of Fatigue

HARLEY C. SHANDS M.D. and JACOB E. FINESINGER M.D.

We have reviewed data collected in an investigation of patients with chronic fatigue. The hypothesis is presented that fatigue is a danger signal closely related to anxiety; the behavior indicated by the signal, fatigue, is that of desisting. The occurrence of the symptom in the environmental setting of our patients has been reviewed. Certain relationships to projective mechanisms and depressive feelings have been suggested.
