Mental Fatigue

Tips from survivors: “When my brain feels tired, I stop and rest—pushing through usually makes it worse.”

A deep exhaustion caused by thinking, concentrating, or processing information.

Feeling mentally drained after conversations, reading, problem-solving, or focusing for extended periods.

After a stroke, the brain works harder to perform tasks and reroute functions, which uses more cognitive energy.

Pacing cognitive activities, taking regular breaks, reducing multitasking, and prioritizing important tasks.

Very common among stroke survivors, especially during recovery.
