Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a problem while studying. I force myself to study, but I struggle a lot. I cannot focus. It takes me three hours and more to recite simple answers. I end up having the guilt of why I cannot focus like other children. I have been facing this problem for years. There is no problem with distraction. I cannot study. It becomes struggling to study and focus on something more than one and a half hours together.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your situation. you need to make your study interesting, so it will be easy to learn. You are 21 years old, so you will have difficulty remembering as you would like to do in childhood. After 16 years of age, you have a conceptual memory, which means you will remember concepts, not word to word. Do some meditation. Do a group study. Make a pneumonic and imagination to remember your topics. Make flowcharts. Take a break in between studies. Do not force but love your study. Do smart work, not hard work.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
