Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am not able to concentrate while studying. What is the problem with me?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There could be many reasons for this issue. If you always had problems with concentration, and not just while studying, but have a short attention span, it could be attention deficit disorder. If the problem is of recent origin and you are getting stressed out with the burden of studies, it could be anxiety. If you have lost interest in studying and some other activities, it could also be depression.

Besides psychiatric disorders, being distracted by something else which is on your mind or you do not find the study interesting could be other reasons for lack of concentration. The treatment depends on the exact cause of your problem. Consult me if you feel that any of these explanations could be the cause and you need more help, information, and advice about your problem and medication if needed.

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