The psychological effects of fasting can be varied, ranging from increased negative emotions like irritability and anxiety to positive experiences like feelings of achievement and increased self-control, depending on the individual and the type of fasting practiced. Fasting during religious periods like Ramadan can help boost empathy and compassion by reminding individuals of the less fortunate. Some people who fast for extended periods report feeling mentally strengthened after the fast.
