Is depression a cause for always feeling tired?

Around 90% of people with clinical depression experience tiredness and depression fatigue.

Some ways to improve depression fatigue include changing antidepressant medications, adopting a balanced diet, and talk therapy.

Depression fatigue can be caused by stress, insomnia, certain medicines, or low serotonin and dopamine levels.

Why is pure dopamine not a recreational drug? And if it was wouldn’t it be the most addictive and fairly side effect free?
