Why does one tend to copy others and have difficulty focusing on various issues?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I think I have a personality disorder. I do not remain the same and I change myself very early with different types of people. It seems like I do not have my own personality. I try to copy, or I try to become like the person whom I meet. Moreover, I have extreme focus issues. I cannot focus on one thing for more than a minute and I am also facing consistency issues. Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist. It is difficult to say about your personality from the above details. It is not enough to reach any diagnosis. I can help you improve your mental health and concentration issues. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned lifestyle:

  1. You should exercise daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk.

  2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily. Just sit in one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing. Do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts. Just let it be.

  3. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk foods.

  4. You must drink enough water.

  5. You should spend quality time with friends and family members daily.

  6. You should spend time doing creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments.

  7. You should sleep for seven to eight hours daily.

  8. You must avoid tobacco usage, alcohol consumption, or any type of substance abuse.

Live your life. Do not just spend it. Be bold and confident.

I hope you got answers to all the queries that you had.

Thank you.

Investigations to be done

I suggest you do a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid profile test, vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 tests.
