Q. I cannot remember anything that I study. Is it a psychiatric problem?
Hi doctor,
I am a male, who is studying medicine. From childhood, I was an average student. I got good marks in the 10th standard, but in the 11th and 12th standard, I got very bad marks. I do not know what happened, although I study for a long time. Still, I am not getting good marks. I got admission in a medical college, and my parents had to spend a lot for my admission. So, I thought to work hard and score good marks, but again the same thing is happened. I study full day, but I cannot remember anything. Even if I remember what I study, I am not able to recall it during exams. I get tensed when my teacher or friends tell me to explain some topic. Although I study it well, I cannot explain what I read, and I make many mistakes when I explain. Sometimes, when my teacher asks me any question, I get tensed and go blank. I cannot even answer basic questions. I failed in all internal exams, and only a month is left for my final exams. I doubt that I have a Physiatric problem or this course is not fit for me. But, I want to be a doctor, but my condition is bad. I do not know what to do. I feel that I have a poor IQ. These things happen only in studies. My personal life is super cool. Due to this problem, I am slowly losing interest in my studies. Can you please help me?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concerns. From the available description, the possibility of a major psychiatric disorder appears limited, but there is clear indication stress having a significant impact on your student life. It is a well-known fact that increased stress reduces your performance, and it is possible that same is taking place for you. Also, I feel you should get following tests from a nearby laboratory: Serum vitamin D3, serum vitamin B12. Once this is done, report back to me for a consultation. During this time, I will make sure that there is no major psychiatric illness. During the interaction, if we found one that we can discuss the mode of treatment for same. I must assure you that there is no problem with your IQ or intelligence. Getting good marks and getting admission in a medical college proves about yourself. I hope this helps you. Thanks and regards.
