Q&A

Answered by Dr. Vandana Patidar

How can an 18-year-old improve concentration for studies?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Your brain knows that starting studies will cause stress because you will learn that there are many things that are still unresolved and need to be covered; as a result, your brain is avoiding them. But refrain from letting your brain use this unhealthy coping mechanism because it creates a backlog, which is a problem you are most likely already facing. So, I would suggest that you take a deep breath, break up your syllables, create a schedule for 25 days, attempt to cover as much material as you can, and do not worry or avoid the subject, since examinations are unavoidable and will start whether you are ready or not.
