What could cause forgetfulness and lack of concentration in a college-going student?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

I would like to know more details about your symptoms;

1) Since when did you start having a feeling that you are forgetting things?

2) Are you forgetting only the academic things? Or are you forgetting the other day-to-day activities and routine things as well?

3) Do you have problems only concentrating during lectures? Or is there a disturbance in your overall concentration too?

4) Are you able to do your day-to-day activities like bathing, dressing, cleaning, going to college, etc. properly?

5) How is your sleep routine? Do you get sleepy soon after laying in bed? Or does it take a long time? Once got sleepy, do you have frequent awakenings during sleep? Do you feel fresh on awakening from sleep in the morning?

6) How is your usual mood in doing the day-to-day activities? Is it a happy mood or towards the sad side (thinking about past events or the future)?

7) How is your appetite?

Kindly revert with answers to the above questions, to be able to guide you better.
